Uprated Paddle Clutch Kit for BMW Z4 E86 3.0si

Unlock sharper driveability and serious torque holding with this Sachs paddle clutch assembly tailored for the BMW Z4 E86 3.0si. Built for enthusiasts who demand stronger bite and heat resilience, this heavy duty kit pairs a reinforced cover with a multi‑puck cerametallic plate for fast road and track use. It is a direct replacement that mounts to the original BMW flywheel or a new genuine unit, making it a straightforward upgrade for performance builds.

Why it stands out

• High bite paddle disc for rapid engagement and reliable power transfer under load
• Uprated clamp load from the strengthened cover for improved torque capacity
• Excellent thermal stability to resist fade during hard driving and repeated launches
• Direct fit replacement that works with the factory flywheel or a new OEM flywheel
• Ideal for tuned Z4 E86 3.0si applications: fast road, time attack, drag, drift and track days

We run this upgrade on customer builds and have been consistently impressed with the positive engagement, durability and confidence it brings when you lean on the car. Feedback from owners highlights robust holding power and dependable performance when pushing the N52-powered Z4 hard.

What to expect

• Aggressive, on‑off style engagement typical of paddle setups
• Increased pedal effort compared with stock
