If you’re looking to take your BMW’s performance to the next level, the ACT XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit (BM13-XTR6) is definitely worth considering. This kit isn’t just for show; it’s built for those who really push their cars to the limit. The Xtreme pressure plate is designed for serious drivers who demand more from their clutch setup. With its unique diaphragm design, you get increased clamp load and reduced deflection, which means you can expect a longer clutch life. Plus, the four-stage heat-treating process that all diaphragms go through really amps up the performance.

Now, let’s talk about the 6-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, so they can handle the heat and stress of aggressive driving. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, adding strength and durability, which is crucial when you’re shifting gears at high RPMs. The lightweight design allows for quicker shifts, but be warned: engagement is on the harsher side, which might not be for everyone. However, if you’re after speed, this setup is a game-changer. It’s especially recommended for larger clutch sizes, as it can absorb more heat during those intense driving sessions.

Installation is straightforward—you’ll find all the instructions here. Just a heads up, you’ll need to use the included ACT Prolite flywheel, and it comes with all the necessary bolts.

Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect with this kit:

• Moderate to heavy pedal effort—this isn’t for the faint of heart.
• Aggressive engagement that might increase gear rattle, but hey, that’s part of the fun.
• Engineered for performance; it’s carefully assembled and balanced for reliability at high RPMs.
• Designed strictly for race use, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking about daily driving.

As for the specs, here’s what you should know:

• Clutch Disc Diameter: 9.4 inches (240 mm)
• Torque Capacity: 702 ft/lbs, which is a solid upgrade over OE performance.

Just remember, this kit is a conversion, so you’ll need the ACT flywheel included in the package.
