Sachs Performance Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW 3 Series E90/E91 (E9x) 316d 318d 2.0d Diesel Manual Gearbox - Uprated Heavy Duty Cerametallic Puck Disc, Stage 2 Fast Road/Track, High Torque Remap Ready, DMF Compatible

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

Looking to handle extra diesel torque after a remap or hard road use on your BMW E9x 316d or 318d? This high-performance paddle clutch kit is a proven upgrade for manual gearbox cars, delivering a sharper bite and stronger holding power compared with the factory unit. Designed for drivers who want fast engagement and dependable grip under load, it is a popular choice for fast road and occasional track use.

Why enthusiasts choose this clutch

• Increased torque capacity vs OE clutch for tuned 2.0d models
• Multi-puck ceramic puck plate for aggressive bite and rapid engagement
• Uprated pressure cover for firmer clamping and heat stability
• Built for spirited driving, launches and repeated hard shifts
• Direct bolt-on to your existing OE flywheel or a new genuine DMF

We have installed this upgrade for customers and on our own cars, and the feedback is consistently positive: stronger bite, excellent heat resistance and confidence-inspiring engagement when power is increased.

Driving characteristics

This is a paddle puck disc, so expect a firmer pedal and a shorter engagement window compared with a standard organic setup. Some judder on take-off and extra drivetrain noise can be present, especially in stop-start traffic. If you want the closest-to-OE feel, consider an organic option. If you want maximum bite and holding power for a remapped diesel, this paddle kit delivers.

What’s included

• Uprated pressure plate
• Sintered multi-puck clutch plate

Compatibility and fitment

Suitable for BMW 3 Series E90 Saloon and E91 Touring 316d and 318d with manual transmission. Ideal for cars with software upgrades where a heavy duty clutch is required to cope with increased torque.

Installation is a direct replacement on the original dual mass flywheel. For best results, pair with a fresh OE DMF if yours shows wear.

Recommended during installation

• Replace the release bearing at the same time
• Inspect the dual mass flywheel and renew if out of spec
• Ensure correct bedding-in procedure to maximise service life
