BMW Performance Clutch Kits & Parts

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!

Looking to eliminate your dual-mass flywheel? Overwhelmed with all the options, but hearing complaints about so many of them with rattling or chatter from them? Problem solved. Introducing the all-new Lightweight Performance Flywheel from ECS Tuning. Engineered in-house with the enthusiast daily driver in mind, this is the perfect option for those wanting a lightweight flywheel without the annoying chatter heard from so many other options on the market. Designed to accommodate all conditions: from Sunday drives through the country, to the abuse of the track. No matter your driving style or ability, this is the flywheel and clutch kit for you.

Key Features:

Eliminates factory dual-mass flywheel for:
Crisper shifts
Improved throttle response
Improved acceleration (We measured a .4s decrease in 0-60 times on an otherwise-stock E36 328i!)
Lower replacement cost
Hardened 4140 Chromoly Steel for excellent engagement feel and wear resistance; zinc plated for corrosion resistance
Designed for use with any E34 M5 pressure plate and clutch for OE-type clutch feel

Why is SFI testing and certification important?

The SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI) is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for the quality assurance of specialty performance and racing equipment. SFI certification indicates a flywheel has been certified using industry-standard SFI Spec 1.1 standards by an independent testing body to ensure quality of both design and materials for flywheels utilized in competitive motorsports.

Having successfully passed SFI certification, this flywheel has an individual SFI serial number found in a laser etching, and on an affixed sticker. This certification means the ECS-engineered flywheel is safe and reliable during the rigors of competitive racing; it's also safe and reliable for years and years of street use.

Lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch kit for improved throttle response, acceleration, and clutch feel - the perfect setup for daily-driven vehicles with up to 400 Ft/lbs of torque.

This performance clutch and flywheel kit utilizes an upgraded ECS E34 M5 clutch kit with their in-house engineered flywheel to fit all M5x and S5x motors with a 5-speed transmission. By eliminating the dual-mass flywheel and replacing it with a single-mass you are able to eliminate the slack and extra weight of the flywheel for a quicker throttle response and acceleration. Their upgraded clutch kit utilizes all the best features of the original M5 clutch with an upgraded pressure plate and clutch disc, with the new clutch you have a better, more engaged clutch pedal feel, engagement, and longevity.

Whether you're replacing a worn-out clutch or upgrading for increased power handling, this E34 M5 clutch and flywheel kit offers a reliable solution for enhanced pedal feel, power capacity, and overall driving satisfaction.

Paired with a modified geometry flywheel, the E34 M5 style clutch is ideally suited for most E36, E46, and others using the same powertrain. It checks all the boxes for essential clutch replacement features. While some aftermarket options may address slipping issues and worn-out clutches, they often sacrifice pedal feel, providing little to no resistance. A soft clutch not only kills the driving experience of your BMW but also reduces confidence when pushing the car to its limits.

On the contrary, you might be in the market for an upgraded clutch to handle your modified engine/forced induction builds. You go from an OE or aftermarket clutch option that has a lackluster and soft pedal feel to the complete opposite side of the spectrum, a very stiff clutch that grabs like an on-and-off switch making the clutch a pain almost undrivable on the street resulting in your favorite car turning into your least favorite car to drive.

The E34 M5 clutch and flywheel kit balances performance with practicality, ensuring a satisfying driving experience whether you're maintaining your BMW or preparing it for increased power demands.

Lightweight flywheels have proven themselves to be a worthwhile performance enhancement. But with the quicker throttle response and horsepower improvement comes one serious drawback: flywheel chatter. Without the dual-mass flywheel's rubber isolators, a lightweight aluminum flywheel has more rattle than stock. ECS has designed this flywheel using chrom-moly steel and it weighs almost ten pounds less than the stock DMF but not as extreme as full aluminum flywheels. The steel helps dampen vibration and noise so you get near-factory refinement and most of the benefits of a lightweight flywheel: quicker throttle response, better reliability, and more power to the wheels. Zero-balanced and SFI 1.1 certified (material and design has been independently burst tested to ensure quality and safety). This flywheel requires the E34 M5 sprung hub clutch kit. Choose below from the flywheel only or a complete kit.

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.

Stock flywheel weight - 25.0lbs
ECS flywheel weight = 16.55lbs

From the factory, the E46 M3 featured a dual-mass flywheel and self-adjusting clutch kit. While this provided an easy, comfortable driving experience, it lacks the durability and performance features of an upgraded clutch and flywheel kit. ECS Tuning's all-new S54 performance clutch kit is designed to address these issues. Featuring a full-face clutch disc and heavy-duty pressure plate, this kit offers increased power-holding capability, exceptional pedal feel, and superior durability.

The factory dual-mass flywheel weighs 24.2 lbs. This heavyweight component favors dampened vibrations and smooth gear changes—not performance. The 16.5 lb. E34 M5 flywheel designed by ECS omits the bulky dual-mass design for a single-mass, chromoly steel flywheel. For the performance-minded enthusiast, this translates to quicker RPM changes, easier "heel-toe" downshifts, and improved acceleration.

Engineered in-house with the enthusiast in mind, this is the perfect option for those wanting a lightweight flywheel and performance clutch, without the heavy pedal feel commonly associated with aggressive clutch kits. The ECS S54 performance clutch and lightweight flywheel are designed to accommodate all conditions: from Sunday drives through the country to the abuse of the track. No matter your driving style or ability, this is the flywheel and clutch kit for you.

The factory dual-mass flywheel in your MINI N14 was built with comfort in mind—absorbing drivetrain vibrations and smoothing shifts—but at the cost of performance. Weighing in at a hefty 28.3 lbs., the OEM flywheel adds excessive rotational mass, dulling throttle response, slowing acceleration, and complicating precise rev-matching. Worse yet, it's known to be unreliable in modified or tuned setups and expensive to replace when it fails.

This single-mass design from ECS Tuning weighs just 18.8 lbs. It cuts nearly 10 lbs. of rotational weight to significantly enhance throttle response, acceleration, and overall driving feel. Built for durability and spirited driving, it's the ultimate upgrade for enthusiasts who want to make the most of every gear change.

Key Features:

Precision CNC-machined from 4140 HT Chromoly Steel: Ensures outstanding toughness, consistent wear, and long-term durability.

Heat Treated and Tempered: Achieves HRC 28-32 for improved strength, stress relief, and dimensional stability—even at elevated temperatures.

Black Oxide Coated: Resists corrosion for long-lasting protection and a professional finish.

Precision Balanced: Exceeds OEM standards (G16, 175 g-mm) to ensure smooth, safe operation at all RPMs.

SFI 1.1 Certified: Tested and approved for extreme use—track or street.

Direct Fit for OE N14 Clutch Kits: Maintains compatibility with factory-style components for hassle-free installation.

Performance Benefits:

Substantial Weight Reduction

​OEM Flywheel: 28.3 lbs.

The SPEC Stage 2 clutch is a premium, no compromises heavy-duty clutch upgrade for the 1996-1999 E36 M3. Where the stock clutch is well-known for premature wear when driven hard and the factory dual mass flywheel is a known failure point, the SPEC clutch delivers with an over-engineered, performance-oriented clutch solution. The single carbon-Kevlar clutch is rated at 370 ft-lbs, more than enough for the naturally-aspirated S52 engines. A heavy-duty pressure plate and throw-out bearing complete the package.

The stock clutch in the S52 cars is not a terrible clutch and it is not under-rated (it was the same clutch used in the Euro M3). Our tuned M3 street and race cars have used the stock clutch with over 300hp with only the occassional slip. But if the clutch is not grabbing like you want it to, or your tuning plans will include forced induction like our Project E36 M3, a heavy-duty clutch is what will be needed. The SPEC Stage 2 clutch consists of a carbon-Kevlar friction material paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate. The clutch is stronger and grabs harder than the factory clutch. It has a much more robust feel and engagement. And with this specification the clutch will never be a weak point. The SPEC clutch is designed to work with the stock dual mass flywheel or with a lightweight aluminum single-mass flywheel.

The real weak point in the driveline is in the flywheel. The stock dual-mass flywheel has rubber damper discs inside that will wear out over time. Heat and aggressive driving will accelerate their wear. Even if the clutch contact surface is not showing wear the inner rubber linings most likely are. On most clutch replacements we strongly advise getting a new flywheel at the same time to avoid duplicating the work. You can use the SPEC clutch with the stock or aluminum flywheel. A machined steel flywheel is also an option as a middle ground. Both the SPEC steel and aluminum flywheels are lighter than stock and will be single-mass. There will be a lot more noise and 'gearbox chatter' with the aluminum but the tradeoff is a much better acceleration and quicker revving. For daily driver commuting you will probably be happiest with the stock flywheel. For the ultimate in sports car feel use the aluminum.

SPEC Clutch is one of the premier clutch and flywheel suppliers to the tuner market. They are often found on the most highly tuned import and domestic vehicles. They are recent players in the German car community with a special focus on the newer turbo BMW models with high torque output. SPEC has been proven time after time to provide superior performance, drivability, and longevity to the most hardcare enthusiasts around the globe.

The factory dual-mass flywheel in W11-powered MINI Coopers was designed with comfort in mind—minimizing drivetrain vibration and delivering smoother shifts. However, this focus on refinement comes at a performance cost. The hefty 27 lbs. of rotational mass dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and makes rev-matching more difficult. Dual-mass flywheels are also known to be less reliable in tuned or modified setups and can be expensive to replace when they fail.

ECS Tuning developed their Lightweight Single-Mass Flywheel to address these issues with a performance-focused alternative. Weighing in at just 17 lbs., this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to the OEM unit—transforming throttle response, acceleration, and clutch feel for a more engaging and dynamic driving experience.

Key Features:

Manufactured from 4140 Chromoly Steel
Heat-treated and tempered for exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability.
Optimized Hardness (HRC 28–32)
Ensures consistent performance and durability under extreme conditions.
Precision-Balanced to G16 Standard (175 g-mm)
Exceeds OEM balance requirements for smooth, high-RPM operation.
Black Oxide Finish
Provides effective corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
SFI 1.1 Certified
Validated for safe use in high-performance and racing environments.
Direct Fit
Engineered to work seamlessly with OE-style clutch kits designed for the W11 engine architecture.
Performance Benefits:

OEM Flywheel Weight: 27 lbs
ECS Lightweight Flywheel Weight: 17 lbs
This significant weight reduction results in:

Sharper throttle response
Faster engine revs and acceleration

The SPEC Stage 2+ clutch is a premium, no compromises heavy-duty clutch upgrade for the 2001-2003 E46 330i/ci (5-speed transmission). It goes beyond the standard Stage 1 upgrade with a higher-capacity clutch disc rated at 545ft-lbs! Where the stock clutch is well-known for premature wear when driven hard and the factory dual mass flywheel is a known failure point, the SPEC clutch delivers with an over-engineered, performance-oriented clutch solution.

The stock 330 clutch was not designed for performance. It works fine for a daily driver street car with no mods but performance and longevity quickly drop off when adding more power or using the car for aggressive street, autocross, or track use. A lot of our customers also hate the self-adjusting clutch (SAC) mechanism and the clutch delay valve that makes clutch engagement inconsistent and unnatural feeling. It's no wonder that for the Grand-Am Cup touring car races the rules specified an E36 M3 clutch! If you're unhappy with the stock clutch feel or your future plans include additional upgrades that boost torque, then a heavy-duty clutch is what will be needed. The SPEC Stage 2+ clutch consists of a carbon-Kevlar friction material paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate. The clutch is stronger and grabs harder than the factory clutch. It has a much more robust feel and engagement. And with this specification the clutch will never be a weak point. The SPEC clutch is designed to work with the stock dual mass flywheel or with a lightweight aluminum single-mass flywheel.

The real weak point in the driveline is in the flywheel. The stock dual-mass flywheel has rubber damper discs inside that will wear out over time.
