SACHS Performance Paddle/Puck Clutch Kit – BMW 5 Series F10 F11 (518d 520d 525d 535i) Manual – Uprated Heavy Duty Sintered Cerametallic, High Torque Stage 2/3 Fast Road & Track Upgrade

Uprated Paddle Clutch Upgrade for BMW F10 and F11

Give your manual transmission BMW a serious driveline upgrade with this SACHS Performance paddle clutch kit. Built for fast road and track use, it offers outstanding bite, excellent heat tolerance and far greater holding capability than a factory setup. It is a direct bolt-on to the original flywheel or to a new genuine replacement, making it a smart, no-fuss performance upgrade for tuned cars.

What you get

• Reinforced high clamp load cover assembly for dependable grip under hard acceleration
• Multi-puck sintered cerametallic friction plate for rapid engagement and superior thermal stability

Why choose this paddle kit

• Designed to handle increased torque from remaps, hybrid turbos and supporting modifications
• Consistent performance under repeated hard launches and spirited driving
• Motorsport-grade materials for excellent fade resistance and durability
• Direct fitment to the OE flywheel position to keep installation straightforward

Driving characteristics

This is the sintered paddle puck variant. Expect a firmer pedal, a more immediate bite and a narrower engagement window compared to a standard clutch. Some judder on take-off and extra drivetrain noise can be present. If you want a smoother, more road-biased feel, look for the organic friction version listed separately.

Vehicle compatibility

Suitable for BMW 5 Series F10 and F11 models including 518d, 520d, 525d and 535i with manual transmission. Ideal for owners seeking a heavy duty clutch solution for tuned diesel or petrol variants used on fast road, track day or performance applications.
