Sachs Performance (SRE) Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW 1 Series F20/F21 120d 125d 2.0 Diesel Manual - Heavy Duty Cerametallic Puck Disc, High Clamp Cover - Fast Road/Track Stage 1/2 Remap - DMF Compatible Uprated Clutch Upgrade/Replacement

Uprated Paddle Set for BMW 1 Series F20/F21 120d and 125d

Unlock dependable power delivery on your tuned diesel 1 Series with this Sachs Performance paddle clutch upgrade. Designed for cars running remaps, hardware upgrades and hard road use, it combines a high clamp load cover with a multi-puck cerametallic drive plate to cope with serious torque while resisting heat fade and slip.

This assembly installs as a straightforward replacement with your existing OE dual mass flywheel or a new genuine DMF. Built for fast road and track-day abuse, it gives the gearbox a positive, direct feel and delivers consistent bite under repeated high-load launches and aggressive upshifts.

Why enthusiasts choose this setup
