Uprated Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW E46 328i and 328Ci

Looking for a serious clutch upgrade for your BMW 3 Series E46 328i or 328Ci manual? This SACHS Performance paddle setup delivers hard‑hitting bite and dependable holding power for fast‑road and track builds. It is a direct replacement for the factory assembly and works with the original BMW flywheel or a new OE flywheel.

This listing is for the sintered multi‑puck paddle variant. If you need a smoother, daily‑friendly option, the organic version is also available separately.

What is included

• Reinforced cover assembly with increased clamping force
• Performance friction disc featuring multi‑puck sintered cera‑metallic pads

Why choose this performance clutch

• Big torque handling for tuned M52‑engined E46 328 models
• Excellent heat resistance for repeated hard launches, spirited B‑road drives and track days
• Durable components engineered for motorsport use
• Clean, decisive engagement to minimise slip under load

Perfect for

• Remapped and modified 328i and 328Ci builds
• Fast road, time attack, drift and drag strip use
• Stage 2 and stage 3 style projects seeking stronger bite and higher holding capacity

Fitment

Compatible with BMW E46 3 Series 328i and 328Ci petrol manuals. Designed to mount to the OE dual‑mass flywheel or a new genuine replacement without custom fabrication.

Driveability notes

• Paddle clutches have a more immediate, on‑off feel compared with a standard clutch
• Pedal effort may increase due to the uprated cover
• Some judder on take‑off and additional drivetrain noise can be expected, especially at low speeds

Our experience

We run these units on our own builds and they have been superb under abuse. Customers praise the bite, consistency and confidence they give when turning up the power on an E46 328.

Installation and recommendations

• Always replace the release bearing at the same time
• Inspect the flywheel for heat spots, cracks or excessive play and renew if necessary
• Use an alignment tool and follow correct torque procedures during installation
