Looking to replace my clutch and don't have a bunch of money for a high dollar clutch. I'm probably around 150-200hp over stock. Any suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated. 07 335xi Sedan. Bare with me this is my first thread and forum.
Best factory clutch replacement.

Welcome!
Did you have a particular price range you had felt comfortable with? I think there are some people putting in the 335is clutch as a semi-upgrade.
Its for sale on ECS for $360 right now. Part number: 21207603248

Here is an install video:
Might want to look into trans input/output seals and bellhousing bolts if they aren't steel.

Thats about where I am with it I would like to stay under $400. I have found a LUK Clutch kit for $275. Right now that's kinda where I am leaning. BMW OEM I can get for around $350. I'll also looking into the seals and probably the crank seal too since they will be in there.
The oem clutch is made by luk, just rebrand and a jacked up price. The 335is/550i clutch kit would be perfect for your power range with stock like clutch feel. I'd also recommend getting a new flywheel, most places won't resurface a dual mass flywheel. You will also need new bell housing bolts, they are one time use and CANNOT be reused. Have you done a cdv delete yet?
I haven't done the CDV yet, it was part of the plan when doing the clutch. What's the difference between a 335is clutch and 335xi clutch?
The 335is clutch is stronger and has more power holding capability compared to the stock 335i/xi clutch. Many people have reported maxing out stock frame and some people even running hybrids with the is clutch. I ran the 335is clutch with no issues while fbo on stock turbos, my single quickly killed that clutch though.
If you are on FB my name is Ethan King feel free to add me, I may have other questions and it's easier there
Does the year of the IS make a difference on the clutch? And are the fly wheels the same or do I need an IS fly wheel too
I went with the 335is clutch on my last 335 when my stock one started slipping after stage 2 tune FBO. I just ordered the ECS tuning kit and i had no issues.

I have a 335is clutch with an Mfactory single mass LWFW. Clutch is doing good at 420+ whp and ~18k miles so far. Single mass gave me chatter on idle and drone at high load/low rpm (wot below 2.5k rpm). If I had to do it again, I'd stick with a new stock DMFW and the IS clutch because I'm stock turbo.
I read about misfires with the DMFW and not being able to reuse/resurface it.
Im stage 1+ MHD with 5" Intercooler and charge pipe and bov. About to go catless DPs and Stage 2+ with MHD. So I should be close to the 450-500hp range at motor. What year 335is should I be looking for these parts? Or if anyone has a parts list that would be awesome also.
