SPEC part number SB533H is the Stage 2 Plus clutch for BMW's N54 3.0L twin-turbo six. Stage 2+ swaps the Stage 2 Kevlar disc for SPEC's multi-friction disc, which SPEC says maintains the excellent drivability of Stage 2 while adding 15-20% more torque capacity. For the E9x 335 applications SPEC specifies this kit as a rigid-hub disc.
The practical difference between this kit and SPEC's Stage 2 SB532-2 is what it bolts to. SB533H is the ratcheting assembly, listed by SPEC for use with the OE dual-mass flywheel or an aftermarket billet flywheel cut to the OE clutch pattern — so no flywheel purchase is forced. SB532-2, by contrast, is non-ratcheting and mandates a SPEC billet single-mass flywheel. Choose SB533H if you are keeping the factory flywheel and want the higher-capacity multi-friction disc.
- SPEC Stage 2+: multi-friction disc, 15-20% higher torque capacity than SPEC Stage 2
- Rigid hub disc as specified by SPEC for the BMW 335 (E9x) applications
- Ratcheting pressure plate — runs on the OE dual-mass flywheel or an aftermarket billet flywheel with the OE clutch pattern
- No flywheel is included, and for most listed applications none is required
- SPEC application coverage for this part number spans BMW 135, 335 (E9x), 335is, 535 (E60), 550 (E60/F10), 650, X3 (F25) and Z4 35i
- SPEC rates Stage 2+ for street, drag, pulling and autocross use
- Sibling part: SB532-2 is the Stage 2 Kevlar version, and it requires a SPEC billet single-mass flywheel
