The BM14 - XTG6 kit is a game - changer for the most demanding BMW drivers. Its Xtreme pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design. This design boosts the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and significantly extends the clutch life. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for unmatched performance. The ACT pressure plates have precisely stamped covers, ensuring rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad spring - centered race disc of ACT features a spring - center construction. It effectively dampens torsional vibrations and can withstand harsh conditions. The spring retainers of ACT have wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings. They offer spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and enhance strength and reliability. With the 6 - pad spring - centered race disc, you'll experience a harsher engagement but much faster shifting. It's ideal for larger clutch sizes as it can absorb more heat. This part fits a wide range of BMW models from 2007 - 2016, including 135i, 335i, 435i, 535i, and Z4 sDrive35i in various configurations.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Then, carefully install the clutch kit according to your vehicle's repair manual. When driving with this kit, be aware that the engagement is harsher than a regular clutch, so you might need to adjust your driving style a bit. For maintenance, regularly check the clutch for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the clutch clean and free from debris. If you notice any unusual noises or a decrease in performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected by a professional mechanic. Also, make sure to use the right type of lubricant if your vehicle's manual recommends it.
