Has anyone used the ECS Performance Clutch? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

e92oholic · 02-21-2013, 12:07 PM

Well the clutch in my car is starting to slip in 4,5,6 so im starting to shop for a new clutch. Ive read a bunch on here about all the different options. I was looking on ECS tuning I saw this kit they sell. They claim that it will hold more power than the stocker and that its the clutch off the 335is, 550i, and 650i. The guy on the phone told me its the clutch they have in there 335 thats pretty modded. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on it.

My car isn't anything wild just Dps, intake, jb4, and run e85 in the summer time. I really don't want to get a clutch thats going to be harsh to drive with. My friend has clutchmasters and he hates it and it seems that act has hard engagement. I bought the car CPO one year ago and it just started slipping at 70,000.

Thanks guys!

Wouldn't trust that without any real numbers behind it.
If your car is stock and will remain that way maybe, but no way I'd trust it for increased power over other proven clutch options already in play.

Looks like its even a remanufactured unit also. But it is a good price

We have a lot of customers purchase the Clutch Masters FX100 clutch kit with great success. 70% increased hold and drives almost like OEM.

Details about the clutch can be found here:

I just read on your website that this clutch will fit xi too. Whats the maximum recommended WTQ you can run with it?
Thanks

The most befitting clutch for your needs would likely be the Spec Stage 2.

It's the most proven clutch, and the most widely used.

2+ Has a Torque Capacity of 545 at the flywheel. Stage 2 is 485.

Around 433wtq. The next step would be the FX300. Which is 110% over stock. This will hold around 500wtq.
