Is there an east way of working out if a flywheel is from an early or face-lift 325i?

I've bought a second hand one and can't figure out which one it is. Would like to make sure I get the right starter motor as it says on wiki the early and late types are different.

Thanks

*easy not east

If your car has crank sensors in the gearbox you will need the flywheel with a peg next to the ring gear, if you have a front crank sensor either will do

Thanks Dan. So if i'm using it for a M52 conversion, either one will do the job and I can use the late type starter motor?

Yes that is correct, if you didnt already know I lighten these to 5.5kg which gives needed clearance to the M52 engine and also helps the engine rev faster

Ah great. The flywheel I have bought has already been lightened, but I do need an exhaust manifold for the conversion so will drop you a PM about that.

Thanks again
