If you’re looking to take your BMW’s performance to the next level, the Advanced Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate B015X is a solid choice. This isn’t just any pressure plate; it’s built with an innovative diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load significantly—think anywhere from 50 to 120 percent more than stock. That means you're not just getting a tighter grip on your clutch, but also an extended lifespan for the component itself.
What’s really impressive is the four-stage heat-treating process that each diaphragm goes through. It’s not just about strength; it’s about reliability under pressure, especially when you're pushing your car to its limits on the track or even during spirited drives on the street. The precision cover stampings provide the rigidity you want, ensuring that everything stays in place even when you’re revving high.
Now, let’s talk about the feel. The pedal effort here is moderate to heavy, but that’s part of the charm. You get this positive engagement that makes you feel connected to the car. It’s engineered for durability, too—each unit is carefully assembled and dynamically balanced, which means you can trust it to hold up when you’re hitting those high RPMs.
For those who like to tinker, installation is straightforward, and if you need a hand, you can check out the install instructions here. And just so you know, the pressure plate bolts (M8-1.25 x 15mm) are included, so you won’t have to hunt those down separately.
Specifications:
This pressure plate is a great fit for a wide range of BMW models, including:
In short, if you're serious about performance, the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate is worth considering. It’s built to last, feels great underfoot, and will definitely enhance your driving experience, whether you’re tearing up the track or just enjoying a weekend cruise.
