Here’s a summary of the clutch/flywheel kit you mentioned — a performance clutch upgrade for older BMW 5-speed manuals:


DKM Clutch BMW E34/E36/E39/E46/Z3/Z4 5‑Spd Sprung MB Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel


📦 What It Is

  • Clutch kit + steel flywheel designed for BMW models with a 5-speed manual gearbox (E34, E36, E39, E46, Z3, Z4).  
  • Replaces the OEM dual-mass flywheel with a single-mass steel flywheel and performance clutch setup.  
  • Rated for ~440 ft-lbs (≈600 Nm) of torque, which is significantly stronger than a stock clutch and suitable for aggressive street use and moderate track driving.  


🔧 Key Features

  • Sprung clutch disc with organic friction material — smoother engagement and better drivability than a fully rigid racing disc.  
  • Steel flywheel included — replaces heavier or failure-prone dual-mass OEM units and can improve throttle response.  
  • Torque capacity much higher than typical OEM clutches, helping prevent slip in tuned engines.  


🚗 Fitment – Examples

Fits a range of 1990s–2000s BMW models with 5-speed manual transmissions such as:

  • BMW 323i/325i/328i (E36/E46)
  • BMW 525i (E34/E39)
  • M3 (non-SMG 5-spd)
  • Z3 and early Z4 manuals  


🧠 Things to Know

  • Because it replaces a dual-mass flywheel with a single-mass steel unit, you may notice slightly more vibration or drivetrain noise compared to OEM setups — this is common with single-mass conversions. Many owners consider this acceptable for performance gains, but personal tolerance varies.  
  • Proper installation (including correct pilot bearing and throw-out bearing) is important for optimal clutch feel and longevity.
