Which engines have the dual mass flywheel?

After hearing a tail of woe from a 530d owner whose flywheel had to be replaced several times, I'd like to know whether the E61 520d I have on order has the same flywheel. Forewarned is forearmed.

Cheers.

Unless it's a common issue almost worthy of a recall, is it something that's likely to happen and can anything be done to pre-empt that low likelihood anyway?

I'm not really looking to pre-empt anything. I was wondering whether all manual 5's have the dual mass flywheel - just in case.

I gave the standard meaning to "forewarned is forearmed".

OK, maybe I shouldn't have put that bit in. It was an afterthought.
