The 320i and 325i clutches look the same and have the same dimensions but the 325i model has a higher clamping force and will take more torque and power.

Fit a 325i clutch for peace of mind.

So does that mean that flywheel, driven plate and release bearing are all the same, with just a different cover plate assembly?
