Uprated Organic Clutch Upgrade for BMW 3 Series E90 and E91 316d and 318d

Looking for a tougher, smoother clutch upgrade for your diesel 3 Series that still feels great in daily traffic? This Sachs Performance organic clutch kit is a direct-fit upgrade designed for BMW E90 and E91 316d and 318d manual models. It pairs an uprated pressure plate with an organic-lined drive plate to improve torque handling and heat resistance while keeping engagement progressive and road friendly.

Why enthusiasts choose this kit

• Built to handle increased torque from remaps and bolt-on tuning without clutch slip.
• Smooth, predictable bite thanks to the organic friction material. Ideal for fast road and daily use.
• Reinforced cover assembly for stronger clamping force and dependable power delivery.
• Excellent thermal stability for spirited driving and higher load conditions.
• Installs onto your existing OE flywheel or a new genuine dual mass flywheel for a straightforward fit.

What’s in the box

• Uprated pressure plate
• Organic friction disc

We run these Sachs kits on customer vehicles and in our own builds. Feedback is consistently positive on drivability, pedal feel and reliability, especially on tuned 316d and 318d setups where the stock unit struggles.

Driving characteristics

• Organic lining gives near-OE engagement, refined take-up and easy modulation in traffic.
• Pedal effort can increase slightly due to the stronger clamp, but remains comfortable for everyday use.

Note: Sachs also offers a sintered paddle alternative for extreme torque builds, but that option is more on and off in feel and not usually recommended for daily commuting. This listing is the organic specification.

Recommended while you’re there

• Replace the release bearing or concentric slave cylinder at the same time.
• Inspect the dual mass flywheel for play or heat spots and replace if worn.
• Use quality gearbox oil and follow correct bedding-in procedure for maximum life.
