After trying just about every permutation on the market today, we have landed on what we at Partee Racing believe is the best clutch and flywheel combination for high performance street driving with the E39 M5: a Sachs organic performance clutch with uprated pressure plate and a stock dual-mass flywheel that has been machined our CNC lathe to accept the Sachs clutch and lightened to shed approximately 7-8 lbs. of girth, enabling your S62 to rev more easily and more freely and reducing drivetrain loss. This is identical to the "high clamp" clutch kit available from Dinan for over $1900 and substantially the same as the lightened flywheel available from Einhorn Industries for $1400, for a total spend of $3300. Our kit is priced nearly $1k less than that. An added bonus: The sole difference between our flywheel and Einhorn's is that we machine the inner "lip" of the flywheel down to accept the Sachs clutch in accordance with Sachs's instructions, so YOU don't have to incur the additional cost of having your local machine shop do it! We install this kit on all of the E39 M5s that we renovate. The clutch grabs well and puts the power down well, and the uprated pressure plate is not SO uprated as to tire you out and make you feel like you have been doing squats! We know you will love it.
Kit includes clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and lightened and machined flywheel.
