Nope, different flywheel and you can't swap the flywheel because the 300D
flywheel and crank are dynamically balanced together.
The flywheel difference is more of a matter of weight, not size (the the
5-cylinder flywheel is larger, just not in diameter). You can get by with a
240D flywheel. You'll have a revvier motor, but the flywheel won't store as
much energy as the proper one. Also, you can have either new flywheel
statically balanced with the one that comes out of the car.
