Sachs Performance Clutch Kit Paddle : 3 Series F30/F34 316d,318d

Uprated Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW 3 Series F30 and F34 316d 318d

Looking for a serious BMW diesel clutch upgrade for fast road, track day or high-torque remap use? This Sachs paddle clutch kit is a proven heavy-duty solution for the 3 Series F30 saloon and F34 Gran Turismo 316d and 318d. It delivers stronger bite, higher torque holding and outstanding heat resilience compared to factory equipment, making it ideal for tuned cars that need dependable power delivery.

The kit pairs a reinforced cover with a sintered multi-puck cerametallic disc, giving rapid engagement and consistent performance under hard driving. It bolts straight up to the standard dual mass flywheel or a new genuine replacement, so installation is straightforward with the right tools and know-how.

Real-world results

We have fitted this uprated clutch to customer cars and on our own builds. Feedback has been excellent for torque holding and consistency, especially on remapped diesel setups where the stock unit struggles.

Important notes

• Paddle clutches offer higher friction and holding power but typically introduce an on-off engagement feel and a firmer pedal
• Some judder on take-off and additional drivetrain noise may be present due to the motorsport-oriented design
• We strongly recommend replacing the release bearing at the same time and inspecting the flywheel for wear
