BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 5 Series E60 (2004-2010)

If you've ever bled the clutch hydraulic system on your BMW, you know how frustrating it can be. Designed with both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians in mind, our clever tool simplifies one of the most notoriously annoying steps in clutch service.

Crafted from high-quality aluminum and finished in a durable black anodized coating, our clutch slave cylinder bleeder tool is built to last. Its function is simple: the adjustable piston rod applies controlled pressure directly to the clutch slave cylinder’s piston, compressing it and reducing its internal volume. By minimizing the amount of air trapped inside the cylinder, bleeding becomes faster, cleaner, and far more effective—no more endless pedal pumping or inconsistent clutch feel. The result is firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement and a smoother overall driving experience, all achieved with less time and effort underneath the car.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Simplifies bleeding the BMW clutch hydraulic system by reducing trapped air in the slave cylinder Eliminates excessive pedal pumping and inconsistent clutch feel Helps achieve firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement Crafted from high-quality aluminum for strength and longevity Durable black anodized finish resists wear and corrosion Designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Clutch Slave Cylinder Bleeder Tool was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

Engineered in-house, we designed this lightweight, single-mass flywheel to provide more than 10 pounds of weight savings over the factory flywheel. While some ultra-lightweight performance flywheels are manufactured from aluminum, our designers opted for a more driveable experience with steel. The mass provided by steel helps dampen vibrations and noise, delivering near-factory refinement with most of the benefits of a lightweight flywheel: quicker throttle response, improved durability (and longevity), and more effective transfer of power to the wheels.

Modern flywheels are built with additional components that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. Weight has increased and reliability has decreased. With additional weight more energy is required for it to move. A lightweight flywheel does away with the dual mass design and its additional mass so more energy can be diverted to where it counts most - moving the car. The flywheel and clutch is one of the first areas that engine builders address when making the rotating assembly lighter for race engines. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance. And with a single-mass flywheel the unreliable DMF design is eliminated.

When it comes to selecting a clutch to pair with a lightweight flywheel, consider the driving you’ll be doing. As a single mass flywheel eliminates the dual-mass dampening of the factory flywheel, to retain the lowest noise, lowest harshness driving experience possible, select a clutch with a dampened disc such as the ACT Heavy Duty. For dedicated track cars, a solid clutch hub is appropriate.

Our recommendations:

Street: ACT Heavy Duty
Track: ACT Xtreme for high torque cars or OE 335is LuK (with 440lbs-ft or less)
Features:

Precision machined from 4140 HT heat treated chromoly steel for exceptional toughness, even wear properties, and durability.
Material quality promotes even wear across the entire friction surface
Heat treated to HRC 28-32, tempered to relieve stress and improve dimensional stability and elevated temperatures
Hardness improves wear characteristics
Black oxide coated for corrosion resistance on non-friction surfaces.
8620 steel pilot bearing pin, case hardened and Precision ground for maximum wear resistance.
Precision balanced to exceed OEM specification (G16 spec to 175g-mm).
SFI 1.1 tested and certified to ensure safe operation under extreme operating conditions
SFI 1.1 specifies minimum material properties and requires a 3rd party lab certification test, spinning the flywheel to 1.5x redline for 1 hour to ensure the flywheel will not burst.
Specifically designed to work with N54 architecture clutches
Step height designed to optimize clamp load and maximize the usable range of clutch wear for a long service life
Performance:

Turner Flywheel 18.6 lbs
10 lbs lighter than the factory BMW flywheel (Stock Flywheel 28.9 lbs)
Faster revs
Improved throttle response
Improved acceleration
Sportier driving experience
Stock flywheel weight - 28.9lbs
Turner single mass flywheel weight = 18.55lbs

Single Mass Flywheel Conversion:

Audible chatter from the transmission after installation is considered normal. As with most single mass flywheels, there is less dampening in the flywheel to reduce "gear noise." This chatter noise may be more present when the transmission fluid temperatures are hotter and may be intensified by other modifications. Most gearboxes will experience some chatter noise at hotter temperatures. Please be advised that this noise will disappear once the clutch pedal is depressed. This symptom may be lessened by adjusting transmission fluid weight, turning off electrical/driveline consumers (A/C, High Beams, ETC.), and by raising the RPM slightly.

Installation:

Flywheel Hardware: For added peace of mind, apply Blue or Orange Loctite when installing factory flywheel bolts that do not come with pre-applied threadlocker.
