Uprated Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW Z4 E85 3.0i

Looking to stop clutch slip on a tuned BMW Z4 E85 3.0i and put power down with confidence? This Sachs Performance paddle setup is a proven bolt-on upgrade for manual Z4 3.0i models, engineered for serious torque handling, fast bite and high heat resilience. Ideal for fast road, track days and motorsport-style driving where the factory unit falls short.

What you get

• Uprated cover with increased clamping load for stronger torque capacity
• Multi-puck cerametallic paddle plate for aggressive engagement and excellent heat tolerance
• Direct-fit replacement that works with your existing flywheel or a new OE unit

Why enthusiasts choose this kit

• Significantly higher torque holding compared to standard equipment
• Robust build for durability under hard use and elevated temperatures
• Sharp engagement that delivers a positive, motorsport-style feel

We have fitted this clutch to customer Z4 builds and feedback has been consistently strong on bite, stability under repeated hard pulls and overall drivability for a paddle unit. It is the go-to clutch upgrade for remapped and modified Z4 3.0i cars seeking a heavy-duty solution.

Driving characteristics

As a sintered paddle design, engagement is more immediate than an organic plate and can feel on-off. Expect some take-off judder and potential additional drivetrain noise, especially at low speeds. This is normal for a competition-leaning clutch and is part of the trade-off for the significant performance gains.

Fitment and installation

• Application: BMW Z4 E85 3.0i manual
• Compatible with your OE flywheel or a new genuine unit
• Recommended during install:
  • Replace the release bearing at the same time
  • Check the flywheel for wear and replace if required
