Luk DMF053 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF053 Dual Mass Flywheel

The LuK DMF053 is a dual mass flywheel engineered for BMW applications that require precise drivetrain damping and smooth clutch engagement. Built around LuK’s OE-focused design approach, it helps maintain proper torsional control in the drivetrain while matching the needs of the original vehicle setup.

• Dual mass flywheel design for drivetrain vibration isolation
• 24 in. flywheel diameter with 113 teeth
• Flywheel inner diameter: 15.2 in. / 5.984 in.
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.362 in. / -9.2 mm
• OE-style fitment for BMW manual and sequential transmission applications
• Cross-reference part numbers include AMS Automotive 167053 and Perfection 50-2811

What It Helps Address

• Excess drivetrain vibration during engine operation
• Harsh clutch engagement and driveline shudder
• Premature wear associated with rigid flywheel conversions
• Stress transferred to engine mounts and gearbox components
• Crankshaft loading caused by inadequate torsional damping

Installation Notes

Verify the flywheel diameter, tooth count, and cup depth before installation. This part is listed for specific BMW models and transmission configurations, including sequential transmission applications and one X5 application with a production date note. On the 2004-2005 BMW 325i application, the aluminum bell housing bolts noted in the fitment data must be replaced with the dealer-specified bolts.

Quality Assurance

LuK positions this DMF as an original-style replacement built to the vehicle’s drivetrain requirements. The design is intended to preserve the damping characteristics expected in BMW applications and reduce the risks associated with solid flywheel substitutions.
