Hi, anybody know if I can put a performance clutch that is advertised for an M3 or a 318i on my 325? Are they the same? I have found some great spec'd clutches online, but none for a 2.5

Thanks

They're all different as far as I know....

Why do you want an uprated clutch anyway?

I've got to change the clutch anyway, and GSF want £94 for a standard one with my brothers trade discount, so I might aswell go for a performance one. That way I can play about with the HP in future worry free. Would you just fit the standard one then?

Unless you intend on strapping a massive turbo then the standard clutch will be fine.

It's not power that will cause a clutch to start slipping, it's torque.

You can make as much power as you like, as long as the torque doesn't exceed the clutch's spec.
