New Release: Performance Clutches Single Mass Flywheel Kit for BMW E36 & E46

It’s time to take your driving experience to the next level. Performance Clutches has just released their long-awaited Single Mass Flywheel Kit for BMW E36 and E46 6-cylinder models—bringing race-proven engineering to the streets and the track.

Engineered for Performance

This new kit is designed for drivers who demand quicker throttle response, increased durability, and superior clutch engagement. Featuring a 7.2kg lightweight single mass flywheel, it significantly reduces rotational mass, allowing your BMW to rev more freely and deliver power more efficiently.

Key Features

  • High-Performance OE derived M3 Pressure Plate

    • Ductile, high tensile, pressure plate construction

    • Massive 9,300N clamp load for optimal power transfer

  • Disc Options to Match Your Driving Style

    • Stage 1 HD (PC-3194-S1HF): Steelback Organic Sprung Disc – Ideal for fast road use

    • Stage 2 Sport (PC-3194-S2SF): Segmented Ceramic Sprung Disc – Great for aggressive street or occasional track

    • Stage 3 Sport (PC-3194-S3SF): 6-Paddle Ceramic Sprung Disc – Built for track and competition

  • Comprehensive Kit Includes:

    • 7.2kg flywheel

    • Performance pressure plate

    • Clutch disc (based on selected stage)

    • Release bearing

    • Pilot bearing

    • Flywheel and pressure plate bolts

BMW Compatibility

This kit fits a wide range of BMW 6-cylinder engines across the E36 and E46 generations, including:

  • E36 M52 / S50 (e.g. 323i, 328i, M3)

  • E46 M52 / M54 (e.g. 323i, 325i, 330i)

  • Also compatible with select models in the E39 5-Series, E38 7-Series, Z3, and X5 3.0i

See full application list below for model-year compatibility ranging from 1992 to 2007.

Important Note for M54 Owners: Due to the M54’s sensitivity to harmonic vibration, replacing the factory dual-mass flywheel with a single-mass version may amplify engine harmonics. It’s strongly recommended to upgrade to a performance billet oil pump to avoid potential long-term engine damage.
