Spec 00-03 BMW M5 Stage 2+ Clutch (Requires Spec Flywheel SB63S-2)

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the drivetrain on your 2000-2003 BMW M5, especially if you've added more power through modifications, a performance clutch kit is essential. This Stage 2+ clutch from SPEC is designed to handle the increased demands of a higher-output engine, ensuring your power gets to the wheels reliably. It's a well-built unit that offers a noticeable step up in holding capacity compared to stock, making it suitable for spirited driving and modified M5s.

This particular clutch kit is a Stage 2+ offering, meaning it uses a performance-oriented friction material and a robust pressure plate. The friction disc is designed for a strong engagement and is paired with a heavy-duty pressure plate that provides increased clamping force. This combination allows the clutch to hold more torque, which is crucial when you're putting down more horsepower than the factory setup was designed for. It's important to note that this kit requires the SPEC Flywheel SB63S-2; it is not a direct replacement for the factory flywheel and must be used in conjunction with the specified SPEC flywheel for proper fitment and function.

When installing this clutch, remember that it's a performance upgrade and may have a firmer pedal feel and a more abrupt engagement than your original clutch. This is normal for a clutch designed to handle higher power levels. Ensure you have the correct SPEC flywheel (SB63S-2) on hand before beginning installation, as it's a mandatory component for this kit. Proper installation will ensure you can confidently put the power of your modified M5 to the ground.
