About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to handle more power in your 2006-2010 BMW 550i with the 4.8L engine, this Clutch Masters FX500 clutch kit is built for that kind of performance upgrade. This kit is designed to hold significantly more torque than the factory clutch, making it a solid choice for modified vehicles or those that see frequent track use. The FX500 series is Clutch Masters' answer for a high-performance clutch that still offers a manageable pedal feel for daily driving, though it's definitely geared towards spirited driving and track conditions.

Inside this kit, you'll find an 8-puck rigid disc, which is the heart of its increased holding capacity. The rigid design means there are no dampening springs, which contributes to a more direct engagement and a firmer pedal feel. This setup is well-suited for applications where quick shifts and immediate power transfer are critical. The disc itself is paired with a performance pressure plate that offers a substantial increase in clamping force over stock. Clutch Masters uses well-built components throughout their kits, ensuring reliability when you're pushing your BMW hard.

When installing this kit, expect a firmer pedal engagement and a more immediate clutch release compared to your original setup. Because it's a rigid disc, some drivers notice a bit more drivetrain noise at idle, which is normal for this type of performance component. This kit is a complete package, designed to replace your worn-out clutch and flywheel assembly with a unit that can handle the demands of a more powerful drivetrain. It's a popular choice for BMW owners looking to upgrade their clutch system for enhanced performance and durability.
