How to remove and install Flywheel on BMW Z4?

New flywheel driveplate retaining bolts will be required on installation, and thread-locking compound may be necessary. Begin by removing the manual or automatic transmission, and for models with a manual transmission, take out the clutch. To remove the bolts, lock the flywheel/driveplate in position using a flywheel locking tool, which should be bolted to the engine block with one of the transmission-to-engine bolts. Progressively loosen and remove the retaining bolts, then withdraw the flywheel/driveplate from the crankshaft, taking care as it is heavy and noting that it locates on dowels. If an engine/transmission intermediate plate is installed, remove it while noting its orientation. For installation, reinstall the intermediate plate, ensuring it is correctly located on the dowel(s). Reinstall the flywheel/driveplate to the crankshaft end, ensuring the locating dowel engages, with the position indicated by notches on dual-mass flywheels. Examine the threads of the new retaining bolts; if not coated with thread-locking compound, apply a non-hardening compound before reinstalling the bolts. Tighten the bolts progressively in a diagonal sequence to the specified torque and lock the flywheel/driveplate by reversing the tool used during removal. If applicable, reinstall the clutch and then the transmission.

BMW Z4 Flywheel

The Flywheel of the BMW Z4 stabilizes engine power by storing rotational energy. It also connects the starter and the clutch and ensures smooth launching. The Flywheel is attached to the crankshaft with a bolt. It has mass and helps to smooth the thrust from combustion by evening out the bursts. It allows smooth driving instead of jerk driving. A ring gear runs around the rim and meshes with the starter motor to spin the crank each time the key is turned. The broad face provides a gripping surface for the clutch disc, which transmits torque to the transmission. During the production of the Z4, BMW made use of two main Flywheel styles on their vehicles, the traditional solid disc Flywheel and a dual-mass Flywheel that has the main disc and a floating secondary plate with spring damping in between. The solid type is tough and can occasionally be resurfaced, while the dual mass type minimizes vibration and shifting harshness, cannot be machined, and can suffer from internal spring failure, which means that to fix the Flywheel needs to be replaced. Wear may manifest in the form of scorched surfaces, warpage, or chipping of ring gear teeth, and timely renewal will ensure the lively BMW character prized by Z4 owners.
