Clutch Kit, BMW - E30 325e 9/85-5/86, E28 528e -9/83, E28 528e 9/85-5/86

This is the OEM replacement clutch kit for E30 325e from 9/1985 to 5/1986. It also fits several E28 528e models - up to 9/1983 and from 9/1985 to 5/1986. A clutch kit includes all of the components of the clutch assembly - disc (21211223114), pressure plate (21211223026), and throw-bearing (release bearing) (21517521471).

This clutch kit is an Original BMW (likely made by Sachs or LuK) and will be identical to a new BMW clutch. This OEM clutch will deliver original levels of smoothness and grip - exactly the characteristics you want in a clutch used on the street.

This clutch uses components that are partially made from recycled materials. This is known as a remanufactured or rebuilt kit, and is a common practice with organic clutch materials. Even a clutch purchased from BMW directly may also be remanufactured. Note that this does not mean it's a greasy, worn-out used part! It only means that the organic material in the clutch disc, and possibly other components, have come from a recycled source. Using recycled materials lowers the overall product cost and is better for the environment. Sachs stands behind the part with a two year warranty.

Additional items should also be replaced as part of the "while you're in there" work. This includes, but is not limited to, exhaust gaskets, transmission seals and bushings, driveshaft mounts, pilot bearing, and the rear main seal. In addition, the condition of the flywheel will be unknown until exposed with the clutch removed. Some flywheels may be resurfaced, however, it's not guaranteed. In the case of dual-mass flywheels, the typical replacement interval is every other clutch change (but sometimes sooner). Ordering the basic clutch kit is usually first on a long list of parts to replace at the same time.

This is a Genuine BMW clutch kit with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
