Luk DMF082 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF082 Dual Mass Flywheel Overview

The LuK DMF082 is a dual mass clutch flywheel engineered for BMW manual transmission applications that require precise torsional damping and smooth drivetrain operation. Built around LuK’s OE-focused design approach, this flywheel helps maintain consistent engagement characteristics while reducing the stress that can come from using a solid flywheel replacement.

Compatible with BMW 128i, 328i, 328i xDrive, Z4, 528i, X3, and related 2006-2013 applications, the DMF082 is a fitment-specific solution for drivers replacing a worn dual mass flywheel. This part number, DMF082, is also referenced by interchange numbers including 530 and NDMF082.

Key Features

• Dual mass flywheel design for smoother power transfer and reduced drivetrain vibration
• Flywheel diameter: 24 in. / 9.449 in.
• Flywheel inner diameter: 15 in. / 5.905 in.
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.362 in. / -9.2 mm
• Number of teeth: 115
• OE-style fitment focus for BMW manual transmission applications

Detailed Description

LuK DMF082 is built as a dual mass flywheel for BMW vehicles where drivetrain smoothness and component protection matter. The dual mass construction helps isolate engine pulsations before they reach the transmission, which is especially important in applications such as BMW 328i, BMW 528i, and BMW Z4 models. By matching the vehicle’s original damping characteristics more closely than a solid flywheel, this flywheel supports stable clutch operation and consistent drivability.

Using the correct flywheel matters because mismatched damping can increase wear on engine mounts, place additional load on the gearbox, and contribute to crankshaft stress. The DMF082 is sized with a 24-inch diameter, 15-inch inner diameter, and 115 teeth to match the specified BMW applications. This part number, DMF082, is a direct replacement choice for drivers seeking an OE-style dual mass flywheel for BMW 128i, 328i xDrive, and other listed models.

This part cross-references 530 and NDMF082 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive drivetrain vibration during clutch engagement
• Harsh takeoff or shudder from a worn flywheel
• Increased stress on gearbox components from solid flywheel conversion
• Premature wear on engine mounts caused by poor torsional damping
• Noise and drivability issues linked to flywheel wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and transmission requirements before installation. This flywheel is listed for BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 525i, 525xi, 528i, 528i xDrive, 528xi, 530i, 530xi, X3, Z4, 128i, 328i, 328i xDrive, and 328xi applications within the stated year ranges. Inspect the clutch system, release components, and related drivetrain parts for wear before reassembly, and confirm the flywheel tooth count and dimensions match the original specification.

For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures and torque specifications during installation.

Quality Assurance

LuK is known for OE-oriented drivetrain components, and the DMF082 follows that approach with application-specific tuning for BMW manual transmission use. The design is intended to preserve the damping characteristics expected in the original equipment setup.
