What is the main advantage of a twin-disc clutch over a single-disc clutch?

A twin-disc clutch uses two friction surfaces instead of one, which allows it to handle significantly more torque. This is crucial for high-horsepower applications where a single-disc clutch would slip or fail prematurely. It also helps to keep the pedal effort more manageable compared to a single-disc clutch with a very high clamping force.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the twin-disc clutch assembly and an aluminum flywheel. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide to confirm if any additional pilot bearings, alignment tools, or specialized fluids are required for your specific vehicle.

How does the aluminum flywheel affect performance?

The aluminum flywheel is lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This reduced rotational mass allows the engine to rev up and down more quickly, leading to improved throttle response and a more agile feel during acceleration and deceleration.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Clutch Masters 850 Race Version Twin Disc Clutch Kit, specifically designed for your 2009-2012 BMW 135i with the 3.0L engine. If you're pushing significant power or planning track days, a stock clutch might not keep up. This kit offers a substantial upgrade, featuring a twin-disc setup that handles much higher torque loads than a single-disc clutch. It's built for serious performance applications where reliability under stress is key.

The kit includes an aluminum flywheel, which is notably lighter than a stock steel flywheel. This weight reduction helps the engine rev more freely, contributing to a more responsive feel when you accelerate. The twin-disc design itself is the main event here; it spreads the clamping force over two friction surfaces, allowing for a much higher torque capacity while keeping the pedal feel manageable for a race-oriented clutch. Clutch Masters uses well-built components throughout this kit to ensure it can withstand the demands of aggressive driving and higher horsepower outputs. This is a popular choice for 135i owners looking to reliably put down more power.

When installing a twin-disc clutch like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, especially regarding the alignment of the two discs and the proper torque sequence for the flywheel and pressure plates. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, but it's a more involved installation than a standard clutch job. Ensure you have the necessary tools and a service manual for your 135i to complete the job correctly. This kit is a solid option for anyone serious about upgrading their BMW's drivetrain to handle increased performance.
