I got my car back from the shop yesterday. The 335ix/550i clutch does fit and the engagement is so much better than the stock 435i clutch. It bites hard, harder than my ex-gf, jk. The new clutch is about 25% stiffer and the clutch pedal releases back more quickly. To me, it feels sportier. I can now quickly release the clutch in 1st gear without worrying out it stalling. I'm still breaking in the clutch, I need 500 miles of city driving. Once I reach those miles, I'll be testing how it performs with some pulls from a dig and the highway.

Glad it worked out for you. Sounds like a nice upgrade.

I decided on the Spec stage 2+ (SB553H) and a new OEM dual mass flywheel. Ordered the parts and awaiting arrival, hopefully will have the work done in the next 2-3 weeks. Going to order a new slave cylinder and remove the CDV and get them to install it at the same time.
Looking forward to this! |

Yup, swapped over a new one that I yanked the cdv out of beforehand.
Since the clutch upgrade was such a big change and my old one was also slipping I haven't really been able to tell the difference of just the cdv yet. Haven't been shifting hard yet either I can say the feel is 100% different. My car nearly yanks me into motion, makes it feel like I'm trying to ride a bull haha, can definitely feel the power of the car way more whereas it was masked by the OEM setup before |

335is/550i clutch review: I have driven on the new clutch for around 1.5k miles. I can chirp the tires all the way to 3rd gear. On highway pulls, I can definitely feel the difference in forward motion compared to when it was slipping. I won't be going past FBOs so this clutch is just right.

Which way did you orient the clutch disk? I have installed spec stage 2+ myself in april got confused with the orientation so called spec support and they said orient it with flat side towards the flywheel but now a month later i get crazy noise when moving from a complete stop or in reverse so i emailed spec and now they say it should have been oriented another way. This side i oriented to the flywheel as per spec at the time of the call but now they claim otherwise.... Thank you |
