Default Help please with lighter flywheels

Hi all
I recently sold my mk1 focus rs, and got a BMW e92 320i (170)
Thinking to have a bit of luxury.
But it's so dam slow( should of got a diesel).
It seems to take an age for it to rev up, and was thinking maybe put a lighter flywheel on to free the revs up a bit.

The help I need is about flywheels. Will it mess the idle up or anything else, I never fitted a lighter flywheel to my past cars as they all had turbos.
Will it help with the revs or will it kill driveabilty.

Need to do something to help it pickup and can't find a super charger kit anywhere.

Cheers

why the fuck did you buy a manual? lol

get it checked for air flow readings, lambda switching and a general health check before buying flywheels!

The auto had a slow 0-60 so didn't bother lookin lol. Feel like I hav to thrash it to get it to move. Looked at a remap but it's about 8 bhp. So don't know if it's worth it

throttle response and fuel economy are worth it alone, forget figures and it will probebly only restore the current asthmatic horses to STD figure

worth every penny

sell it and get a 330 or 335, awesome cars 335`s, put a pair of big turbos on a 520bhp one
