Sachs Performance Clutch Kit Paddle : 5 Series E60/E61 530i 530xi inc xDrive

Uprated paddle clutch upgrade for BMW 5 Series E60 and E61 3.0 petrol models, including 530i and 530xi all-wheel drive. Built by Sachs for serious performance, this heavy duty assembly is a direct-fit replacement that transforms driveability under power while retaining OE-style fitment.

This kit pairs a reinforced cover assembly with a multi-puck cera-metallic paddle plate for rapid bite, impressive heat resistance and outstanding torque holding. Ideal for fast road, track days, drag and drift use on tuned vehicles where the standard unit struggles.

Key advantages

• High torque holding for remapped and modified engines
• Rapid engagement and strong bite for confident launches
• Heat fade resistance for repeated hard use
• Durable, motorsport-inspired friction material
• Direct replacement for the factory unit, no custom fabrication

What you get

• Sachs uprated pressure plate with increased clamp load
• Sachs multi-puck cera-metallic paddle friction disc

Fitment and compatibility

• BMW 5 Series E60 saloon and E61 touring
• 530i and 530xi, including xDrive AWD manual transmission
• Installs to your existing flywheel or a new genuine replacement

Driveability notes

Paddle setups offer aggressive engagement and are not typically chosen for stop-start commuting. Expect a firmer pedal, a shorter modulation window and an on-off feel with possible judder on take-off. Additional drivetrain noise can be normal with this style of clutch.

Why buy from us

We run this Sachs paddle setup on customer cars and the feedback has been excellent. Stronger bite, confident torque capacity and consistent performance when pushed hard. If you are building a fast road or track-focused E60 or E61, this is the go-to clutch upgrade.

Installation and advice

• We strongly recommend replacing the release bearing during installation
• Inspect the dual mass flywheel and replace if worn or heat damaged
