Are there any upgraded clutch kits for a 525i? I'm planning on boosting my car in the near future and don't wanna waste time buying a stock kit. Many of the kits I'm seeing are for M5s and 535s.

I have the UUC 8.5lb flywheel with an E34 clutch and pressure plate. I love it. You can always get that with their heavy FW too. Gripforce also makes a decent clutch kit. I think there are one or two reviews of it on here.

yeah but you also have a m3 tranny swap smh. I'm looking for something for a E34 1992 525i WITH A STOCK TRANNY.

All UUC flywheel packages will work with any E36/E34 transmission that is used with any M5x variant engine.

Your car has a ZF transmission, which also came in M3's. You can use an M3 clutch, just make sure you use the proper flywheel as the M3 clutch is bigger. You can use an M3 clutch in a Getrag trans as well, just mate it to a proper flywheel.

+1 or use the m5 clutch with a UUC FW

BUT if your 92' was a late year build it may have a getrag. I think they had the ZF 310s up until 9/92
