BMW Performance Clutch Kits & Parts for BMW 5 Series E60 (2004-2010)

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features an Xtreme pressure plate, an R6 racing clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

Their Xtreme pressure plate offers a 50-120% clamp load increase, moderate to heavy pedal feel, and is recommended for high performance street and racing applications. All diaphragms went through a four stage heating process for increased strength and unparalleled performance.

The R6 clutch disc is an unsprung, rigid 6-pad racing disc that is recommended for drag and road racing and is better at handling high heat than the 4-pad disc. Its material composition is high quality, ceramic friction materials and a chrome-moly hub that has been heat treated for high strength. It has an increased torque capacity, and is better for faster shifting with its low weight and inertia. Being a racing disc, it has good durability, but a shortened spline life due to its rigid design. It also has a fast, aggressive engagement in comparison to standard street-use clutch discs.

The XACT Streetlite Flywheel is their most popular flywheel as it is great for both street and drag racing. It allows your engine to rev quicker, giving you increased throttle response, and is considerably lighter than your stock flywheel thanks to its light single-mass design, all while still being very durable!

An excellent performance upgrade so you can enjoy quicker revs and eliminate excess turbo lag. Made of high quality 6061-T6 billet aluminum, with a high-carbon steel replaceable friction surface, this flywheel from Clutch Masters is sure to be a great upgrade for anyone looking to reduce crankshaft drag and increase acceleration.

Typical benefits of a Clutch Masters lightweight flywheel:

• Reduced mass equals increased acceleration
• CM uses only 6061-T6 aircraft grade or better billet aluminum in the manufacturer of its flywheels
• CM uses an OE steel ring gear secured by bolts
• CM offers a limited lifetime warranty
• CM Billet Aluminum Flywheels meet SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2

For vehicles with production date up to 01/2009 

This system features a Heavy Duty Pressure Plate modified for a puck style disc with no cushion between the linings to keep the clutch pedal travel short and quick. The puck design disc reduces rotational mass and total drive surface area while increasing pounds per square inch on the surface of the friction material. This combination minimizes inertia, accelerating the transfer of torque from the engine to the wheels. The friction material used for this race application is Graphite Impregnated Ceramic. This compound exceeded all other friction materials when testing for durability, reduced chatter, heat transfer and torque capacity.

Stage 2 Drag/Drift Clutch Kits:

Recommended uses are drag racing, drifting and limited street

Conservatively rated to hold 370lbs/ft of torque.

The FX350 System uses the Power Plus I Pressure Plate with Clutch Masters New Formula Button disc. This clutch is designed for the street enthusiast or weekend racer who plans to abuse their vehicle on an occasional basis and have a spirited driving style.

The FX350 clutch system has a higher holding capacity than a segmented Kevlar lining without compromising the street friendly characteristic Clutch Masters is known for. For year’s enthusiast have had to compromise durability for drivability and vise versa, however with Clutch Masters New Formula button we have closed the gap between these two tradeoffs.
