SACHS Performance Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW 3 Series E9x E90 E91 E92 E93 325i xDrive/325xi AWD Manual - Multi-Puck Sintered Cerametallic, Heavy Duty Stage 2/3 Upgrade, Reinforced Pressure Plate, DMF Compatible

Uprated Paddle Clutch Assembly for BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 325i xDrive

Serious power needs a serious clutch. This SACHS uprated assembly is built for the BMW 3 Series E9x 325i with all-wheel drive, giving a huge step up in torque holding and heat resistance for fast road, track day and competition use. It replaces the standard unit while retaining your original dual mass flywheel, delivering razor sharp bite and rapid engagement when you need it most.

Why choose this upgrade

• Multi‑puck sintered cerametallic paddle disc for exceptional bite and minimal slip under load
• Reinforced cover with higher clamp load for significantly increased torque capacity
• Outstanding thermal stability to resist fade during repeated hard launches and aggressive shifting
• Direct replacement that works with the OE dual mass flywheel or a new genuine DMF
• Ideal for remapped and modified engines where the stock clutch struggles

Fitment

Designed for BMW 3 Series E9x manual models:

• E90, E91, E92, E93 325i xDrive and 325xi all‑wheel drive
• Petrol 3 Series 325i with AWD manual transmission in the E9x generation

Paddle disc construction

This listing is for the sintered paddle version. The multi‑puck cerametallic lining offers a much higher friction coefficient than organic linings, enabling a major increase in transmittable torque and rapid gear changes. It is the preferred choice for stage 2 and stage 3 builds, drag starts, drifting, time attack and repeated high‑load use.

What to expect

• Heavier pedal effort due to the uprated diaphragm spring
• More on‑off engagement than stock with a shorter modulation window
• Potential clutch judder on take‑off and additional drivetrain noise typical of motorsport‑style clutches

In the box

• Reinforced pressure plate
• Sintered paddle driven plate

Our experience

We have fitted this SACHS setup to customer 325i xDrive builds and the feedback has been excellent. It delivers strong bite, dependable engagement and consistent performance when hot, transforming confidence under hard driving.

Recommended while fitting

• Replace the release bearing or concentric slave cylinder
• Inspect the dual mass flywheel and renew if worn or out of spec
• Use new flywheel and clutch bolts where applicable
