Spec 00-03 BMW M5 4.9L Stage 3+ Clutch Kit

The SPEC Stage 3+ clutch kit for your 2000-2003 BMW M5 features a high-performance sprung hub design, which helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with a more aggressive clutch setup. This is a well-built kit designed to handle the demands of a higher-horsepower M5, offering a significant upgrade over the stock clutch.

This Stage 3+ kit includes a carbon-ceramic friction disc, known for its ability to withstand extreme heat and provide consistent engagement even under heavy use. Paired with a high-clamp load pressure plate, it offers a much firmer pedal feel and a higher torque capacity than factory components. This makes it a solid choice if you've modified your M5's engine for more power or if you simply want a more direct and responsive connection to your drivetrain. The sprung hub design is a notable detail, as it helps to mitigate some of the harshness often associated with performance clutches, making it more streetable for daily driving while still offering race-ready performance when you need it.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to ensure your flywheel is resurfaced or replaced to provide a fresh, flat surface for the new clutch disc. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch assembly, but it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque specifications and procedures to ensure a proper and long-lasting installation. This clutch is a significant upgrade for enthusiasts looking to maximize their M5's performance potential.
