OS Giken BMW E36 M50/M52 Super Single Alum Dampened Single Plate Clutch

This OS Giken Super Single Alum Dampened clutch kit is what you get when you're looking for a solid upgrade for your 1992-1995 BMW 325i or 325is, especially if you're planning on making more power or just want a more direct feel from your drivetrain. Inside this box, you'll find the clutch disc itself, which is a single-plate design featuring an aluminum cover and a dampened center hub. This kit is specifically designed to work with the M50 and M52 engines found in those E36 chassis cars.

OS Giken is known for making well-built performance parts, and this clutch is no exception. The aluminum cover helps reduce rotational mass compared to a stock steel unit, which can lead to quicker engine response. The dampened clutch disc is important because it helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a performance clutch, making it a bit more streetable than a solid hub design. This means you get a strong engagement when you shift gears, but without excessive harshness that can make daily driving a chore. It's a popular choice for enthusiasts who want a noticeable improvement in how the car shifts and handles power, while still maintaining a reasonable level of comfort.

When you're installing a performance clutch like this, it's always a good idea to have a new pilot bearing and rear main seal on hand, as these are often replaced during a clutch job. Also, consider resurfacing or replacing your flywheel to ensure a perfectly flat surface for the new clutch to mate with. This kit is a significant upgrade for your BMW's drivetrain, offering a more connected feel and the capacity to handle increased performance.
