BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 8 Series E31 (1991-1997)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

Ensure your clutch system can get the all of the power to the wheels. Stock clutch components lack the ability to transmit the full torque and horsepower loads to the wheels without suffering from increased wear and eventual clutch fade. Sachs Performance Clutch Kits are designed for sport and race applications, delivering higher torque transmission without succumbing to wear and tear and fading over extended periods of abuse.

Sachs Performance Clutch Kits include the following upgraded components:

  • Performance Pressure Plate - Increased clamping force and resistant to wear

  • Performance Clutch Disc - Allows for higher clamping force, higher torque transmission, and better clutch engagement at higher RPM’s

  • Performance Throwout Bearing - Designed for increased spring pressure and higher RPM function

These kits are available with two different clutch discs, Organic and Metallic. Organic clutch discs are perfect for both performance street and light-moderate track applications. Metallic are designed for specifically for full-time track use such as endurance racing, clubsport, autocross, hill climbing and 1/4 mile racing. Please be sure you are purchasing the kit that best fits your needs. Our sales staff can help with any questions or concerns you may have!
