BMW E46 328i 328Ci Uprated Organic Clutch by Sachs

Give your BMW 3 Series E46 328i and 328Ci a dependable drivetrain upgrade with this Sachs organic clutch set. Built for fast-road use and spirited driving, it combines day-to-day usability with the extra bite and holding power enthusiasts want from a premium manual transmission upgrade.

Why choose this upgrade

• Stronger holding capability for remapped or lightly modified engines
• Organic friction lining for smooth, predictable engagement and easy town driving
• Reinforced pressure plate for improved clamping force and robust torque handling
• Excellent heat resistance and stability under repeated hard use
• OEM fitment that bolts straight to the original flywheel or a new genuine replacement

We run these on customer builds and our own projects at MJ Modifications, and feedback is consistently excellent. Expect a more positive pedal and confident bite without losing daily comfort.

What’s included

• Uprated Sachs pressure plate
• Organic-lined driven plate

Fitment and compatibility

Designed for BMW E46 3 Series 328i and 328Ci with manual gearbox. Direct replacement for the factory setup with no custom machining required. Suitable for use with the existing OE flywheel or a new genuine flywheel.

Driving characteristics

The organic lining offers near-OE take-up with a noticeable improvement in bite. Pedal effort may be slightly higher than stock due to the reinforced diaphragm spring, which is normal for a performance-focused clutch.

Recommended during installation

• Replace the release bearing while the gearbox is out
• Inspect the flywheel surface and replace if worn or heat-spotted
• Use a clutch alignment tool to ensure accurate fitment
