Uprated Paddle Clutch Upgrade for BMW E46 320Cd

Looking for a serious clutch upgrade for your BMW 3 Series diesel? This uprated paddle clutch kit is designed for the E46 320Cd and is built to handle hard use, higher torque figures and spirited driving. It is the ideal drivetrain upgrade for remapped and modified cars that need stronger clamping force and a faster bite without the slip you get from a tired factory setup.

• High torque handling for tuned BMW 320Cd models, perfect for fast road and track-day use
• Multi‑puck cerametallic friction disc for a positive, aggressive bite and rapid engagement
• Reinforced cover with heavy duty clamping for excellent power transfer under heat
• Outstanding thermal stability and fade resistance during repeated hard launches

We run this setup on our own builds and customer cars, and feedback has been excellent. Drivers report a strong, consistent pedal and dependable traction under load. If you are chasing reliable power delivery on an E46 diesel, this is the clutch kit to go for.

What is included

• Uprated pressure plate
• Performance paddle friction disc with cera‑metallic pucks

Best for

• BMW E46 320Cd owners needing a clutch upgrade after a remap or hardware mods
• High torque applications where a standard organic disc will struggle
• Fast road, track and motorsport‑style use

Important driveability notes

This is a motorsport‑style paddle clutch. Expect a firmer pedal, a shorter engagement window and an on‑off feel compared with a standard organic disc. Some judder on take‑off and additional clutch or transmission noise can occur. It is not generally recommended for daily stop‑start commuting.

Fitting and recommendations

• Direct fit to the original flywheel. Inspect the flywheel for wear and replace if required.
• We strongly recommend replacing the release bearing at the same time.
• Professional installation advised for best results and longevity.
