Sachs Performance Paddle Clutch Kit : M140i/M240i/340i/440i

Serious power needs a serious clutch. This uprated paddle clutch package is engineered for BMW M140i, M240i, 340i and 440i manual models and is the go-to choice for remapped B58 builds seeking rock-solid torque holding, consistent bite and exceptional heat tolerance on fast road and track.

Built around a beefed-up pressure plate and a multi-puck cerametallic paddle disc, this heavy duty clutch assembly bolts to the original dual mass flywheel or a new genuine DMF. Expect rapid engagement, outstanding resistance to slip under high load and dependable performance when the temperatures rise. It is a proven solution for modified cars that see spirited driving, circuit use and drag strip launches where a standard clutch simply will not cope.

• Uprated pressure plate for increased clamp load and reliable torque capacity
• Multi-puck sintered cerametallic paddle disc for aggressive bite and fade resistance
• Direct fit on OE flywheel or replacement genuine DMF
• Designed for tuned B58 applications where a stronger clutch is essential
• Track-ready durability with consistent performance under repeated hard use

Driveability notes
With the motorsport-style paddle disc and higher clamp load, the pedal will feel firmer than stock and engagement is more switch-like. Some shudder when moving off and a bit of additional noise from the drivetrain can be expected. This setup prioritises torque capacity and heat management over everyday comfort, so it is best suited to performance-focused builds.

Compatibility
BMW M140i, M240i, 340i and 440i manual transmission models, including common B58 platforms across 1 Series F20 F21, 2 Series F22, 3 Series F30 F31 and 4 Series F32 F33 F36.

What you get
Reinforced pressure plate and sintered paddle friction disc from Sachs Performance.
