BMW started using a twin mass flywheels in the late 80's because of complaints of driveline noise and vibration.

so most likely, ure E36 has the heavier flywheel.

While late E30's and all E36's used DMF's it's always helpful to specify whether your early 90's 3 Series is an E30 or E36 do to the stepped body style intro's.
