335is Stronger Clutch

http://www.ecstuning.com/News/BMW_Bi...35i_CLUTCH_KIT


Realistically how much more power would this support? I am at 390hp/420tq-ish to the wheels right now and would like to upgrade my clutch. This obviously is a very cost effective route, but don't know how realistic it would be if I want to achieve 450hp/500tq in the future.

I got that email too. It says it's from the 550i. Which is waht 400HP/450tq? That might be a safe starting point.

Nope.. F10+ 550i (which uses the clutch in question) is rated at 400hp & 450 lb-ft of torque. It's a 4.4L twin turbo v8...

...and is much heavier than our 1ers, meaning it is rated to lug that boat around.
