How to inspect and replace the clutch disc, flywheel and release bearing on BMW 335i?

Inspect the clutch disc for wear, cracks, loose rivets, contamination or excessive runout (warping). Replace if necessary. Measure the depth of the clutch lining at lining rivets, if the shallowest rivet depth is less than 1 mm (0.04 in), replace the clutch disk. Inspect the flywheel for scoring, hotspots, cracks or loose or worn guide pins. Replace the flywheel if any faults are found. If the flywheel is removed from the engine, install using new bolts. Check to make sure the transmission pilot bearing rotates smoothly without play. Replace if faulty. Inspect and clean the release bearing module. Check the release bearing ball stud and spring retainer. Replace if damaged or worn. Clean the release bearing guide sleeve. Do not grease the release bearing module or guide sleeve. If the guide sleeve is greased, the release bearing may stick to it.

BMW 335i Flywheel

The Flywheel in the BMW 335i is a rotating energy storage device that serves to smooth out engine speed when engaging the clutch. Ultimately, this gives the car a smoother, more responsive acceleration. In applications by BMW, the Flywheel is bolted to the crankshaft ahead of the clutch disc. This Flywheel stores kinetic energy with its large moment of inertia. Then, when the clutch opens, it releases this energy to prevent sudden drops in rpm. It also helps to filter the pulsing thrust of the inline six. The Flywheel's toothed rim also allows the starter motor to engage and rotate the crank when the driver pushes the start button. Due to its rotation at thousands of rpm, it must be perfectly balanced; otherwise, cracks or heat spots will cause vibrations and lost energy. Throughout the production years of the 335i line, it has mostly featured a single steel Flywheel, which only shifts slightly in strength or mass, whose core operation is unchanged. The component is still like a mechanical capacitor; it absorbs excess torque when under load and feeds it back when required. Later F30 BMW 335i owners enjoy faster launches, cleaner shifts, and less driveline shock with this no-drama Flywheel.
