Hi Guys,

Clutch replacement time is coming up soon for my M3. I currently have a std. clutch & flywheel and it is starting to slip with 1st to 2nd sprinted changes. I'm not massively hard on my clutches as I have covered about 50,000 miles with this one.

However there are alot of traffic lights in the UK that more often than not require a swift getaway... ;)

So my question is, what clutch and while I'm there what flywheel change? (if any, but I don't mind losing some refinement for a performance gain)

Can I have your experiences please of the above even those guys with paddle clutches, and there longevity.

(i use to have a sprung paddle clutch in my old front wheel drive and didn't find the negatives a problem at all. Some say they are like a on-off switch, but in that it was more than progressive enough for traffic driving. However I do appreciate it may be somewhat more severe in this layout)

Over to you guys.....

i use a solid 1 piece flywheel and a sachs unsprung button clutch plate.

i find the drivability to be fine, and u still can slip the clutch just a little. the clutch will rattle at idle as its unsprung due to solid flywheel.

definetly no clutch slip even after 15000km with it and some drag & circut racing.

if you dont intend some spirited driving well u may be better off still with a 1 piece light flywheel but using just an upgraded clutch plate, with say bit more spring tension on the pressure plate finger arms. id also use a braided clutch line while u are replacing things.

I bught rogue engineering kit. Will be installed by wednesday. I'll give some feedbacks next weekend

We have fantastic clutch kit and light weight flywheel for you.

I have UUC's stage I clutch kit + 11.5 lbs flywheel....... its a very impressive kit, but as said before with a solid light weight flywheel ull be having the rattling noise while idling.

personally I love my uuc flywheel and e34 m5 clutch set up. Its a perfect balance between a firm race clutch, and a decent street clutch. It wont kill you if you happen to get stuck in traffic.

That is good to hear since I'm going to have the same set up for my car which should be done this month.

I am approaching 60,000 miles on my clutch. What kind of mileage should I expect to replace it at?

It is a daily driver and I sit in stop and go traffic all the time so what do you recommend I replace it with? OEM? I definately do not want any rattling.
