Alright, let’s talk about the ACT Heavy Duty/Performance Street Sprung Kit, specifically the BM13-HDSS. If you’re looking to upgrade your clutch setup, this is a solid choice. It features ACT’s most popular heavy-duty pressure plate paired with a street disc that’s been tried and tested by folks who know their way around a BMW. You’ll notice right off the bat that the diaphragm design is a game changer—it cranks up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and really helps extend the life of your clutch. Plus, every diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, which means it’s built to handle some serious heat without breaking a sweat.

The pressure plates are made with precision cover stampings, giving you that extra rigidity and consistency you want when you’re pushing your car hard. The Performance Street discs are no slouches either; they’re crafted from premium organic materials that have a high copper content for better heat transfer. They’ve even got a steel-backed lining for durability and strength, so you can count on them when it matters most. And if you like quick shifts, you’ll appreciate the reduced marcel that lets you shift faster without missing a beat.
