Original BMW Flywheel Bolt M12x1.5x22 for BMW 1602, 2002, Bavaria, 2800CS, 3.0CS, 3, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M3, and M5 (1967–1993)

For M10, M30, S14, and S38 engines, Original BMW hex bolt 11-22-0-616-143 is the M12x1.5x22 flywheel bolt that secures the flywheel to the crankshaft in the BMW 1602, 2002, Bavaria, 2800CS, 3.0CS, 3, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M3, and M5 (1967–1993). It is a one-time-use bolt, so a fresh set goes in whenever the flywheel comes off for a clutch job or flywheel replacement. Most BMW flywheels use eight of these bolts. Each one weighs 30 g and is made in Germany. A flywheel bolt clamps the flywheel against the crankshaft flange and carries every bit of torque passed to the clutch and gearbox.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW has produced this number since January 1968, which is why one bolt covers the 02 cars, the E3 and E9 sedans and coupes, and later E21, E30, E12, E28, E34, E24, E23, and E32 models. The bolt also carries the cross-reference number 05406005001. BMW's part name, hex bolt M12x1.5x22, gives the full thread and length. Bolts are priced each and sold individually, so order a full set for your flywheel.
