BMW Performance Clutch Kits & Parts for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

These heavy-duty clutch kits use aluminum lightweight flywheels with sport clutch components to give your clutch the grip and clamping force it needs to cope with high torque upgrades. Our kits were developed through racing programs by companies affiliated with our own race team - JB Racing, Sachs Sport, OS Giken, and UUC Motorwerks. JB Racing is the leader in aluminum lightweight flywheel upgrades. They are direct replacements for the stock dual-mass flywheels with steel contact surfaces and computer balanced to 14,000 RPM. JB has partnered with Sachs to spec sport/HD clutch discs and pressure plates that work seamlessly with their aluminum flywheels. The result is a clutch/flywheel upgrade package that functions a lot like the original clutch combo with near-stock levels of effort and engangement but with a much higher torque capacity. Don't let the clutch be your weak link in a highly tuned car!

Lightweight flywheel for quicker, effortless revs that improve throttle response and free up lost horsepower. Tested and approved by our engineering team at Turner Motorsport. Tested in early, late, ETA and IS model E30s for confirmed fitment.

Introducing our Turner Flywheel: an ingenious blend of lightweight design, rich features, and remarkable strength! Crafted from 4140 HT Steel, this flywheel is precision-machined from a solid piece, ensuring unmatched durability. By strategically trimming excess weight from its original design, we've achieved a significant reduction in weight, giving new life to your M20 engine. With upgraded efficiency, your M20 can now swiftly spin to high RPMs, unleashing the full power and prowess of this formidable engine. Our flywheel features a ring gear profile compatible with all starters, alongside a reference tab tailored for early cars equipped with bellhousing-mounted sensor crank position detection.

Do you have an early model transmission with the crank sensors on the bellhousing? Maybe you have a late 325is with the crank sensor on the front of the engine, or maybe you have a 1988 super ETA. No matter which E30 model you have, our flywheel is the perfect choice for you.

During the engineering process we encountered the full spectrum of M20 and flywheel combinations. Early cars with bellhousing crank sensors, late cars with front mounting crank sensors and even a super ETA. On this adventure we found both early and late single mass flywheels and even the dual mass that we thought for sure was just a myth. At first we were hesitant that we could make one flywheel to fit them all but with the persistence of our engineering team(fleet of E30 enthusiasts) we can proudly say our M20 flywheel does in fact fit all engine and transmission applications you can think of.

Features and benefits:

Fits early and late models with M20
Fits shallow and deep bellhousing transmissions
Ring gear suited for both starters (P# 12411726504 + 12411361874)
Heavier than other lightweight flywheels, lighter than OEM, its like the Goldie Locks of flywheels - its just right
Reference pin for bellhousing crank sensor
Strong Single-Piece 4140 HT Steel construction
Designed to be used with factory and OE clutches
Weight Comparisons:

​Factory single mass flywheel EARLY (11221705046) - 23.69 lbs.
Factory single mass flywheel LATE (11221706573) - 18.74 lbs.
Dual mass flywheel (21211225979) - 27.56 lbs.
Turner flywheel - 14 lbs.

The ECS Billet Master Cylinder Fitting is the ultimate solution for a notorious failure point in BMW E30 clutch systems. This critical fitting, located at the end of the master cylinder reservoir hose, is responsible for delivering hydraulic fluid to the clutch master cylinder inlet. Unfortunately, the OEM plastic fitting is prone to degradation after prolonged exposure to brake fluid, often leading to total hydraulic pressure loss and brake fluid leaks inside your vehicle.

ECS has addressed this issue by engineering a robust and long-lasting alternative. Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum and finished with black hard-coat anodizing for superior corrosion resistance, this precision-machined fitting replaces the fragile plastic original, ensuring leak-free performance for the lifetime of your vehicle. Upgrade to our Billet Master Cylinder Fitting during your next clutch master cylinder service and enjoy peace of mind knowing your BMW is equipped with a durable, high-quality solution.

Features & Benefits:

Made from 6061 billet aluminum for a permanent, reliable upgrade over the factory plastic fitting. Black hard-coat anodized finish ensures long-lasting protection against the elements. Precision-machined barbs match OEM dimensions for a leak-free seal with Genuine and aftermarket master cylinders. Designed for a secure fit within the factory grommet location. Prevents brake fluid leaks and loss of clutch hydraulic pressure caused by plastic fitting failure. Upgrade your BMW and bulletproof your master cylinder with the ECS Billet Aluminum Master Cylinder Fitting. Ensure clutch hydraulic system reliability and enjoy peace of mind knowing your failure-prone plastic master cylinder fitting has been addressed.

This braided stainless steel line replaces the stock hydraulic hose connecting your clutch slave cylinder to the clutch master cylinder. There are several deficiences with rubber, especially as it ages - when new the rubber expands and swells under pressure and the pedal can feel spongy. As rubber ages and is exposed to extreme temperatures the rubber can harden and even shrink (common on brake hoses), which results in a stiff pedal. Rubber clutch lines do not stand up to the stresses of hard use. ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced clutch lines provide more confident and dependable shifting by maintaining consistent line pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. These lines are reinforced with braided stainless steel mesh, affording superior expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and a more direct clutch pedal feel. The signature red polymer coating provides additional protection from the elements and abrasion.

This particular stainless steel clutch line fits the following BMWs:
1984-1991 E30 BMW 318i 318is 318ic 325e 325es 325i 325ic 325is 325ix M3
1988 E28 BMW M5

Some modifications to your vehicle may not produce power to create gains in the overall performance of your driving. When you add a "Po' Boy" clutch stop to your BMW the performance gain is directly felt in the driving experience.

The ECS clutch stop allows the driver to fine tune the position of the clutch pedal to closely match the engagement point for precise, quicker shifting. The adjustment range found in this product can be set to the stock engagement point or can be adjusted to follow the wear of the clutch.  Meaning your new experience will never change all the way to the end of the clutch life and can be reset to enjoy the next clutch.

Note: This modification might require some slight modification to the clutch switch mounting bracket, which can be bent slightly by hand.

Aluminum flywheels are much lighter than the stock steel flywheel and that produces better throttle response and more available horsepower to the wheels for faster acceleration. The JB Racing aluminum flywheels are a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and work with stock clutch components for an easy upgrade with very little downside.
