Sachs/ZF Performance Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW 3 Series F30 F31 320i xDrive AWD Manual N20 – Sintered Puck/Cerametallic

Uprated Paddle Clutch Upgrade for BMW 3 Series F30 F31 320i xDrive

Looking to handle more torque on your BMW 320i AWD without compromise on bite and heat control? This ZF Sachs-based paddle clutch upgrade is a direct-fit solution for the 3 Series F30 and F31 320i xDrive manual, engineered for tuned road cars and hard track use. It installs on your existing OE flywheel or a new genuine dual-mass unit and is designed to cope with demanding power increases and spirited driving.

Why choose this paddle clutch for your BMW

• High-friction sintered puck disc for serious torque holding on remapped and bolt-on cars
• Uprated cover with increased clamp load for a stronger, faster bite
• Outstanding thermal stability for repeated hard launches and fast road or track sessions
• Proven durability under heat compared with stock equipment
• Direct replacement setup that works with the factory flywheel

We run this kit on customer builds and in-house cars. Feedback is consistently positive on bite, consistency under abuse and overall driveline control on tuned 320i xDrive applications.

Suited to

• BMW 3 Series F30 and F31 320i xDrive manual transmission
• Fast road, track day and motorsport-style use
• Mapped vehicles, intake and exhaust upgrades, higher boost, hybrid turbo setups where extra torque capacity is required

What to expect

• Stronger engagement and a more aggressive bite compared with an organic disc
• Increased pedal effort due to the reinforced pressure plate
• More on-off engagement feel, potential judder from standstill and some additional drivetrain noise

Note for daily users: a sintered paddle disc offers a significantly higher friction coefficient than an organic plate, delivering superior holding power but with reduced modulation. That makes it the right choice for high-torque builds, not the ideal option if you want a factory-smooth commute.

Fitting and recommendations

• Bolts up to your current OE flywheel or a new genuine replacement
• Replace the release bearing at the same time for best results
• Inspect the flywheel and change if worn or heat-spotted
• Professional installation recommended
