The ACT Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit for the BMW 525i from 1991 is a high-performance clutch upgrade designed for demanding driving conditions. It features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life. The pressure plate components undergo a four-stage heat-treating process to ensure durability and consistent performance. The kit includes a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, reducing stress on drivetrain components and resisting failure during aggressive driving. Constructed with precision cover stampings, this clutch assembly offers enhanced rigidity and reliability, making it suitable for spirited street driving or track use.

Designed specifically for the 1991 BMW 525i, this clutch kit is a direct replacement that provides increased clamping force and improved durability over stock components. It is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade for high-performance applications, including racing or heavy-duty street use. The kit is engineered to fit seamlessly into the stock transmission setup, ensuring proper engagement and smooth operation. Installation involves standard bolt-on procedures, and the kit typically includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and necessary hardware. Suitable for vehicles with similar specifications, this clutch kit enhances overall performance and longevity under demanding conditions.

Overview

BM12-HDG6 kit features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate. ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life. All diaphragms endure a four-stage, heat-treating process for unparalleled performance. ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings to provide rigidity and consistency. ACT's 6-pad, spring-centered race disc features a spring-center to properly damp torsional vibrations and resist failure under harsh conditions. ACT spring retainers utilize wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to provide spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and increase strength and reliability. With the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The 6-pad, spring-centered disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat.
