This kit features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design to enhance clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life. Each component undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring durability and reliable performance under high temperatures. The precision cover stampings contribute to increased rigidity and consistency, resulting in smoother engagement and improved overall clutch operation.\u003cbr\u003eThe kit includes ACT’s 6-pad rigid race discs, crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials that offer superior heat resistance. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for enhanced strength and durability, supporting aggressive driving and repeated high-RPM shifts. The lightweight, rigid construction of the assembly allows for quicker shifts and smoother service, making it ideal for race and spirited street use. Engagement is notably harsher with the 6-pad disc, which aids in faster shifting but may produce increased gear rattle and pedal effort. While the rigid design can lead to more spline wear over time, it is optimized for larger clutch sizes to absorb greater heat generated during intense driving.\u003cbr\u003eThis clutch kit is engineered for race use, offering increased clamp load, aggressive engagement, and high heat tolerance, all backed by ACT's industry-leading one-year warranty. It is carefully assembled and dynamically balanced to ensure high RPM reliability and smooth operation. Suitable for BMW Z3 models from 1996 to 2002 and various 2000-2002 3 Series vehicles, the kit provides a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and durability in demanding driving scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy Duty pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design for increased clamp load and reduced deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCeramic friction materials in 6-pad rigid race discs for high heat tolerance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChrome-moly hub heat-treated for strength and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLightweight, rigid design for quicker shifts and smooth operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEngineered for race use with aggressive engagement and high RPM reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\n\u003cbr\u003e1991 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 BMW 325i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 BMW 325is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1992 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1993 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1994 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1995 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW 318i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW 318is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW 318ti Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW 328i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW 328is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW M3 Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1996 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 318i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 318is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 318ti Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 328i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 328is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW 528i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW M3 Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 318i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 318ti Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 323i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 323is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 328i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 328is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW 528i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW M3 Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e1998 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 318ti Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 323i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 323is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 328i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 328is Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW 528i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW M3 Base\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW Z3 Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW Z3 M Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e1999 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW 323Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW 323i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW 328Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW 328i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW 528i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW Z3 Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW Z3 M Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW Z3 M Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2000 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 325Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 325i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 325xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 330Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 330i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 330xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW 530i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW Z3 Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW Z3 M Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW Z3 M Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2001 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 325Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 325i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 325xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 330Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 330i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 330xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW 530i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW Z3 Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW Z3 M Coupe\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2002 BMW Z3 Roadster\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 325Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 325i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 325xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 330Ci Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 330i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 330xi Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 525i Base\n\u003cbr\u003e2003 BMW 530i Base\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45981054107847,"sku":"actBM17-HDR6","price":835.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/2277\/5751\/files\/0c684e404262e9c2b7c241fd953e3e11_223df70e-7e79-4d0f-91c2-2245c43e4e08.jpg?v=1766510749","url":"https:\/\/mainstreeteshop.com\/products\/act-heavy-duty-race-rigid-6-pad-clutch-kit-for-bmw-z3-1996-2002-and-1998-2002-3-series-models","provider":"MAIN STREET ESHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
