Clutch help (and brakes)
I have an 08 335xi. Currently Fbo. My clutch slips a bit in high gears, not sure when it needs to be replaced, I'm at 66k. My question is what would you guys suggest to replace it with? A new stock and flywheel? I auto cross and want to get on a road track a few times per year, but its my dd car... Can someone help me with my options for a clutch and flywheel?
Also I think it's time for at least front pads and rotors. Same question new stock or something else. Thanks |

Do you have any other modifications?
You have plenty of options, but if you are on stock power you may be happy with a spec stage 1. If you plan on adding some power down the road you may want to look into a Spec Stage 2 or 2+ depending on your power goals. I'd stay with the OEM DMFW. We have a nice Rotor and Pad combo that may interest you on our site as well. Feel free to email me with any questions. |

I'm Fbo stage 2+ Cobb. I also run e85 some days. So about 400whp. I don't drag race, just a little autocross and road courses here and there

I assume I need a new flywheel? I've heard of others refinishing the old one with bad outcomes?

So i did more searching a read about act, spec, hpf, and clutch masters. The information out there is very convoluted. I am thinking on initial review that a spec stage 2+ will be adequate for my needs, and I'll need a new oem dmfw. While I'm shopping I need some new aluminum tranny bolts and that should be it.
I'm looking for some actual opinions from someone who has a spec installed. Any reason why I will wish i got something different? |

New OEM DMFW or Steel Single Mass if you can stand a bit of chatter. Here is a recent review thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839608 |
