RTS Supersport Paddle Clutch Kit + Flywheel for BMW 330d M57D30 6‑Speed
If you’ve tuned your BMW 330d (M57D30, 6‑speed manual) and are finding the standard clutch slipping under load, this RTS Supersport Premium Paddle Clutch Kit with flywheel is built to handle the extra torque while still being usable on the road.
Designed for fast road and track use, this kit gives you much higher torque capacity, better heat management and longer life than a standard replacement – ideal for modified 330d saloons, coupes and tourings.
Why Choose This Kit for Your 330d?
-
Handles tuned torque – Upgraded clamp load lets the clutch transmit around 60% more torque than standard, rated up to 650 lb‑ft, perfect for chipped/tuned M57 engines.
-
Runs cooler, resists fade – RTS “Twin Friction” drive plate uses a special flywheel‑side friction material and a segmented pressure plate face. Aramid friction shows up to 50% less wear and reduces fade as temperatures rise.
-
Better heat dissipation – Spheroidal casting micro‑structure and ER2 technology help the clutch run cooler for longer under hard driving and repeated launches.
-
Built for aggressive use – Cerametallic paddle plate (both sides) is suited to higher‑power builds and spirited driving, with a firmer, more positive pedal feel than standard.
What’s in the Box?
-
HD Premium pressure plate (ductile steel cover)
-
Cerametallic paddle drive plate
-
Balanced and lightened flywheel, pre‑assembled for plug‑and‑play fitting
Flywheel bolts are not included.
Who Is This Clutch For?
-
BMW 330d (M57D30) 6‑speed manual owners with:
-
Engine remaps / tuning
-
Higher torque from other modifications
-
Track days, fast road use or simply a more robust clutch than standard
-
-
Drivers who understand that:
-
A solid flywheel setup is required
-
Some extra gearbox/clutch noise is normal in performance applications
-
A 500‑mile break‑in is needed for best performance and longevity
-
Expect a heavier, more direct pedal feel compared to a standard road clutch.
Engineering & Build Quality
-
Ductile steel cover for maximum rigidity
-
Designed to vent dust and debris effectively
-
Fully hysteresis tested for consistent performance
-
Ductile steel covers are application‑specific, not generic “rationalised” designs. Unlike cheaper cast‑iron covers (often mass‑produced for multiple cars), ductile steel is more flexible and better at handling higher power and heat.
-
Built‑in clutch damper to absorb NVH (noise, vibration, harshness), reducing rotating fluctuations and protecting the transmission.
Important Information
-
Requires a solid flywheel conversion – some harmonic noise is normal and expected in motorsport applications.
-
Noise levels vary by vehicle but do not affect clutch performance.
-
A 500‑mile break‑in period is required for optimal performance and longevity.
-
Some images are generic – exact specs may vary by application.
