HP Autosport || Ultimate Clutch Pedal
…a must for all modern “Sporty-Driven” (manual) BMWs.
The “Ultimate Clutch Pedal” is a short-throw clutch pedal made of billet aluminum and 6061 aluminum tube. It fits all LHD manual BMW 3-series cars 2007 and up. Includes (E90/92 and up including F-models) along with all manual 1-series cars and X1 chassis. “Slop” is completely eliminated by the use of precision maintenance-free bronze bushings and stiff billet CNC-design pivot block. Feel is greatly increased due to the elimination of all plastic and flex in the pedal system. The slightly shorter throw makes for quicker shifting and a more positive feel. Lower pedal resting location (15mm lower) lines up pedal better when braking and requires less “leg-lift” from the dead-pedal. The over-center spring is user adjustable with 3 settings (Stock - Sport - Race). Includes adjustable clutch stop that allows user to fine-tune the pedal travel distance and carpet clearance. Satin tumbled surface is then finished in anodized black. Pedal pad shape is compatible with OEM rubber or any after-market pedal pad kit. Easy end-user installation requires no alterations to the car and no special tools. Race-proven performance – positive feedback… Tested by amateur and professional racers. ***Shipping starts on or around Oct. 28th*** Retail $349 Intro price of $295 Order here: http://www.hpashop.com/Ultimate-Clutch-Pedal-UCP.htm Last edited by HP Autosport; 10-10-2013 at 07:29 PM.. |

However, if you google clutch arm bushing install on E36, E46 and E39 the procedure is identical. BMW is still using a 20+ year old clutch arm today...A proper upgrade such as this one is desperately needed for sport, track and race . |

UCP's are shipping at the end of this coming week, we are keeping our fingers crossed. UPC ran into some issues along the way of production and the latest was that anodizing color was slightly off, so are being re-anodized.

I like this but all I see are delays. I'm gonna wait until somebody actually gets one before I throw $300 into the pile. I do understand R and D of a new product has its issues - always! Hope it comes to fruition!

All the R&D is done as with many track and race miles. All pedals are finished, welded up and annealing done. Now, it's just getting the anodizing color correct.

The clutch feel is one of the few issues I have with the 1M so I'd like to try your UCP. How do we get the intro price? It's not an option on the website link.

In that area, I only have a modified CDV and rest is stock, but am considering this pedal.

I set it in the race setting. The throw is shorter, the push is a little bit heavier and the “nhec” noise is gone. I can´t see any downsize. |

Any concerns about safety during an accident? I was under the impression that most clutch pedals are made from plastic so as to deflect/break away or not cause major leg injuries during a collision. The exception being brake pedals, which need to be able to withstand large forces in emergency braking situations.

Thanks man, sounds all good. How was the install, straightforward or any tips?
