Calling ACT clutch owners

Wanting to get ACT street organic clutch but worried about pedal feel. Does it require more force with stock flywheel or is it same feel as stock?????

Pedal feel is based on the pressure plate not flywheel....

The ACT organic street clutch kit requires noticeable more pedal force. It will engage closer to the floor (50% down) and have a less distinct feeling than the stock clutch. This is somewhat annoying to begin with but I soon got used to it and the function is quite OK. There is also a light clutch chatter when making soft launches.

So,it is not a comfort clutch but it gets the work done and I'm perfectly happy with it since it has never slipped. The stock clutch was a PITA when moving to an aggressive and good running V4 map @18+ PSI. I've seen 20+ PSI with the ACT many times without problem and is on 19.5 every day without slippage.

The clutch delay valve was re-installed with the ACT clutch. This contributes to the vague feeling and it will be removed again.

Are you sure ACT makes the clutches for the xi, if my memory doesn't fail me,they don't do it!
My car is 335xi 6sp manual and i would be happy to know that there is an alternative to stock.
