The ACT Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit for BMW E46 models is a high-performance clutch assembly designed to enhance durability and power transfer. 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 undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process to ensure consistent performance under demanding conditions. The kit includes a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, preventing failure during aggressive driving. Built with precision cover stampings, this clutch kit offers rigidity and consistency, making it suitable for high-stress applications and track use.

This clutch kit is compatible with 1996-1999 BMW 3 Series models, including the M3 and 328i, equipped with the appropriate engine configurations. It is designed as a direct replacement for stock components, providing a reliable upgrade for street, track, or spirited driving. Installation involves standard bolt-on procedures, and the kit typically includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and necessary hardware. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking increased clamping force and longevity, this ACT clutch kit delivers improved performance and durability for demanding driving conditions.

Overview

BM17-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.
