Clutch Masters 95-96 BMW M3 3.0L E36/96-00 BMW M3 3.2L E36 FX350 Clutch Kit w/Alum Flywheel

If you're looking to upgrade the clutch system on your BMW M3, or other compatible models like the 325i or 530i, this Clutch Masters FX350 Clutch Kit with an aluminum flywheel is a solid option. This kit is designed to handle more power than the stock clutch, making it a popular choice for drivers who have modified their engines or simply want a more robust clutch for spirited driving. It's a complete package that addresses the clutch disc, pressure plate, and the flywheel, ensuring all the key components work together seamlessly.

The FX350 clutch disc itself is built with a unique sprung hub design that helps absorb shock and vibration, contributing to a smoother engagement than you might expect from a performance clutch. This is paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate that offers a firmer pedal feel and increased clamping force, which is crucial for transferring power effectively, especially when you've added more horsepower. The kit also includes a lightweight aluminum flywheel. This flywheel not only reduces rotational mass, allowing the engine to rev up and down more quickly, but it also comes with a replaceable steel friction surface, which is a smart design choice for longevity and easier service down the road. This kit is a well-built assembly aimed at providing reliable performance for a range of BMW applications.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a comprehensive drivetrain upgrade. You'll want to ensure your pilot bearing, release bearing, and any other associated clutch hardware are in good condition, as they are often replaced during a clutch job. This Clutch Masters kit is designed to fit a variety of BMW models from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, including the M3, 325i, 325xi, 525i, 530i, and Z3, offering a significant improvement over the original equipment for those seeking enhanced performance and durability.
