About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters FX400 Sprung Ceramic Clutch Kit, specifically made for the 2006-2010 BMW M5 E60 with the 7-speed SMG transmission. If you're looking to handle more power or want a clutch that can take a beating on the street or track, this kit is a solid choice for your high-performance M5. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock clutch, but with a significant upgrade in holding capacity and durability.

The FX400 kit features a sprung ceramic friction disc. The ceramic material is known for its ability to handle high temperatures and significant torque, making it ideal for spirited driving and track use. The sprung design of the disc helps to dampen vibrations and reduce drivetrain shock, which can be especially important in a powerful car like the M5. Clutch Masters uses a heavy-duty pressure plate in this kit, which offers increased clamping force over the stock unit. This ensures that the clutch can effectively transfer power without slipping, even when you're pushing the car hard. The kit also includes a pilot bearing and alignment tool, which are crucial for a smooth and accurate installation.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Proper break-in is essential for the longevity of the clutch. This typically involves a period of gentle driving to allow the new friction materials to mate properly with the flywheel and pressure plate. Because this is a performance clutch, you may notice a firmer pedal feel compared to your original clutch, and engagement might be a bit more abrupt. This is normal for a clutch designed to handle higher power levels.
