FAQ

1. Which starter motor should be used with the PMC Motorsport Ford Barra - BMW adapter?

For the adapter installation, the BMW M50 - M54 starter motor must be used.


3. Can I use the PMC Motorsport Ford Barra - BMW gearbox adapter for ZF 8HP?

Yes, the PMC Motorsport gearbox adapter itself is universal and fits most BMW gearboxes available on the market (applies to adapters manufactured after 2022). If you wish to change the gearbox to a ZF 8HP automatic, the standard flywheel must be replaced with an 8HP converter adapter (PMC Motorsport).


4. Which clutch can I use with the PMC Motorsport flywheel?

The Ford Barra - BMW flywheel was designed for the clutch pressure plate from BMW M57 / M57N / M57N2 / N54 / B58 / BMW E46 M3 / Sachs Performance 883082.001243. Clutches from ACT / Spec / Tanaci are very often used with our kit (it is important that the custom pressure plate also fits the BMW OE flywheel: BMW M57 / M57N / M57N2 / N54 / B58). For your gearbox, you must use a clutch disc with the appropriate spline, a dedicated release kit, and a slave cylinder.
