X5 e53 clutch and flywheel parts

Post by Bennsewell86 » Fri Jul 19, 2019 9:56 pm

Hi all.

I have a 3.0i manual e53 in need of a flywheel and clutch replacement.

I'm getting mixed answers of whether other BMW parts, such as that of an e46 3.0 would fit.

Could someone please clarify whether the parts from a similar M54 engine would indeed fit, or whether my parts need to be specifically for the e53 3.0i.

Thanks very much.

Benn

According to Realoem the same clutch kit is used on the 5 and 6 series but not the E46. I would assume the gearboxes are the same in those cars so they have a common clutch. If you haven’t come across that site, it is an up to date copy of the BMW parts database.

The flywheel again is 5 series, Mk1 X3 and X5 only.

Use the last 7 of your VIN on Realoem (in serial number) for identifying the parts.p, then go hunting. :)
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Thanks very much.

I went on realoem last night with numberplate and not VIN.

It seemed to think e36, e46, z3 and 5 series flywheels would all fit.

I'll try again with correct VIN.

Thanks for your help again
