How much Torque can the B58 Transmission Handle?

New video is up to discuss the limits of the ZF8 and 6MT, as well as options to upgrade as you increase your car's power. Hope this helps

Great video as usual Kern!

What would be the next level clutch recommendation from you after the 550i clutch? Said differently, what would be the next stronger clutch after 550i that still has same road manners?

Probably a stage 3 or stage 3+ clutch that can reuse the factory DMFW. Single flywheel will lose some daily drivability and introduce clutch chatter (so I've heard).

Yeah the main reason the OEM clutch has good driveability is the DMFW. Most Clutch companies don't make upgrades compatible with it.
