Engineered specifically for 2005, 2006, and 2007 BMW 330i, 330Ci, and 330xi applications running the N52 and comparable inline-six engines with a 6-speed manual transmission, this kit replaces your entire clutch assembly including the dual-mass flywheel with a proven single-mass steel unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFX100 Power Plus I Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel-backed organic friction disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrowout bearing (release bearing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePilot bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClutch alignment tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement single-mass steel flywheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything needed for a complete clutch service is in the box.

This combination gives you 70% more holding capacity compared to the original equipment clutch while keeping pedal effort only slightly above stock. You get a smooth, natural engagement feel that does not punish you in traffic or on long commutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included single-mass steel flywheel replaces the OEM dual-mass unit, which is a common failure point on these BMW platforms. The steel flywheel provides a more direct power delivery feel and eliminates the complexity and cost associated with dual-mass flywheel replacement. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 03CM3-HD00-SK will not function with the OEM flywheel.

Every kit is designed, manufactured, and tested at their facility in Yorba Linda, California. The FX series product line covers applications from mild street builds all the way through full race configurations, with each tier purpose-engineered rather than simply uprated from a generic platform. The 03CM3-HD00-SK is a vehicle-specific design for these BMW E90 and E46 chassis, not a universal fitment adapted to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClutch Masters products are covered under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

03CM3-HD00-SK is designed to be used exclusively with the Clutch Masters single-mass steel flywheel included in the kit. It is not compatible with the factory dual-mass flywheel. Attempting to use the OEM flywheel with this kit will result in improper fitment and potential failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the 03CM3-HD00-SK on a turbocharged or supercharged BMW?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The FX100 series, including the 03CM3-HD00-SK, is engineered for naturally aspirated engines with bolt-on modifications only. For forced induction applications such as a turbocharged or supercharged E90 or E46, Clutch Masters recommends moving to the FX300 series or higher to handle the additional torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the clutch pedal noticeably heavier after installing this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePedal effort is only slightly increased over the stock clutch. The FX100 Power Plus I pressure plate is designed to provide enhanced clamping force while maintaining a near-stock pedal feel, making it very comfortable for daily driving, commuting, and stop-and-go traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill installing this aftermarket clutch void my BMW warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you installed an aftermarket part. The warranty on unrelated components remains in effect. Any dealer claiming a voided warranty due to this clutch installation alone would be in conflict with federal law.

In addition to the primary fitment of 2005 through 2007 BMW 330i E90, this kit also fits the 2005 and 2006 BMW 330Ci on the E46 platform as well as the 2005 BMW 330xi E90. Always confirm your transmission is a 6-speed manual before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of break-in procedure is required after installing the FX100 clutch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter installation, perform 10 to 15 moderate starts from a full stop and allow the clutch to cool between cycles. Avoid aggressive launches, heavy slipping, or aggressive downshifts for the first 500 miles. Proper break-in seats the friction disc against the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces, ensuring full holding capacity and longer service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit include the flywheel bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe kit includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, alignment tool, and the steel flywheel. For flywheel bolts, Clutch Masters recommends using new OEM-specification hardware. Apply Loctite thread locker and torque to 88 ft-lbs in a star pattern during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 03CM3-HD00-SK handle a nitrous oxide setup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The FX100 is rated for up to 50 horsepower nitrous oxide systems on non-forced induction platforms. If your N2O system exceeds 50hp shot or is combined with forced induction, a higher-rated Clutch Masters kit is required to safely manage the additional torque load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs professional installation required for this clutch kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClutch replacement on these BMW models involves transmission removal and precise torque specifications. While an experienced home mechanic with proper equipment can complete the job, professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure correct flywheel torque, proper clutch alignment, and hydraulic system integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Clutch Masters FX100 compare to the OEM clutch on the BMW 330i?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FX100 03CM3-HD00-SK provides 70% more holding capacity than the factory clutch while replacing the failure-prone dual-mass flywheel with a durable single-mass steel unit. Despite the significant capacity increase, it retains a smooth, near-stock engagement feel appropriate for daily street use, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts who want meaningful performance without sacrificing drivability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals including metal friction materials, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
