DKM Clutch BMW E34/E36/E39/E46/Z3/Z4 5-Spd Sprung MB Clutch Kit w/Steel Flywheel (440 ft/lbs Torque)
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.
