What comes in the EXEDY Hyper Series Accessory Kit BMAK101?

The BMAK101 kit carries a release bearing, pilot bearing and clutch alignment tool for the 323i and Z3. EXEDY packages these parts separately from its Hyper Series clutches so that the items needed to install the clutch arrive matched to it, rather than being sourced one at a time from the factory parts catalog before the job can start.

Which clutches need this kit?

The EXEDY Hyper Series clutches listed for the 323i and Z3 call for kit BMAK101. EXEDY describes the Hyper Series Accessory Kit as the set of parts needed for a full install of a Hyper Series clutch, so the kit and the clutch belong in the same order for the 323i and Z3.

Is the accessory kit included with an EXEDY Hyper clutch?

No. EXEDY sells its Hyper Series clutches and the matching accessory kits under separate part numbers, and BMAK101 is the kit listed for the 323i and Z3. Ordering both at once means the parts are on hand when the transmission comes out, which saves a second job later and keeps the installation on the schedule the shop planned.

Why replace the bearings when fitting a new clutch?

The release bearing and pilot bearing wear alongside the clutch, and reaching either one means removing the transmission. Fitting new bearings with a new EXEDY clutch on the 323i and Z3 stops an old bearing from failing after the work is done, and it is the combination EXEDY specifies when it sells a Hyper clutch for a full installation.

Does the BMAK101 kit fit every 323i and Z3?

Not necessarily. Turn 14 lists BMAK101 for the 1998 BMW 323i and 323is and the 1997-1998 Z3. EXEDY assigns its accessory kits by clutch rather than by model alone, so confirm that the Hyper Series clutch being fitted names BMAK101 before ordering, and later E46 cars are not listed.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
