The OEM flywheel is dual mass so it does have a damping function.

Cheers

and "ArcticM" that posted (post # 53 & 56) in this thread has been identified by the moderators as a CNS racing representative posing as a M5 owner:

So much for this "feedback":

I was one of the early adopters of the CNS E60 SMG clutch kit. I had bought a 2007 E60 M5 and the factory SMG clutch was in need of changing at just 32k miles. Since I had owned an E39 M5 and had experience with the CNS 10.5 clutch for this car it was an easy decision for me to purchase this new SMG clutch kit. Their work is hands down the best in terms of producing street friendly clutches that can take racing conditions too. When I recieved the CNS SMG clutch it looked like a serious piece of art. My mechanic got it installed in 7 hours and from day one it has performed very well. I now have 3800 miles and the engagement is smooth with no gear noises at all. I plan to supercharge the car in the future and the CNS SMG clutch is highly recommended.
Even if they do have a decent product that performs as advertised, their credibility and integrity has now been called into question. Such a shame.

Update:

It is alleged that CNS racing does not manufacture the SMG clutch they are advertising. Apparently they are buying a SPEC clutch from another manufacturer, then reselling it with markup and their own branding.

This situation has been handled. We have identified our commission based sales employee responsible for this without our consent. He has thus been let go and we assure you this will not happen again. We apologize for this and our clutch and other products will continue to be of outstanding quality to BMW and exotic car owners.


Thank you,

Ok, then how do you explain the accusation of buying a clutch from another manufacturer, then reselling with mark-up under your own branding?

Should we call up SPEC and tell them what is going on?

And how do you account for fellow board members and moderators saying CNS has a "history" with this forum?

And it even looks like the same clutch CNS vs SPEC -

Yes our sales employee admitted to this and he is no longer with our company.

For this specific product we taken the clutch unit and made further modifications including increasing the clamping force, flywheel grit surface and disk materials to offer an increased performance rating and smoother SMG drivability. As an example our E39 M5 clutches are produced in our facility and cannot be purchased anywhere else.

Our clutches are built in house and we will look into their (sic SPEC's) product offerings to compare specifications.

CNS Racing, sorry, but I think you guys have lost all credibility on this forum. Perhaps it would be best to just stop posting here and leave the forum.

Hi Kees!

My question to the management team is, if it was known that CNS are not starightforward in their business parctices, why were they allowed to stay on the board for so long?

And if they were removed previously, why were they allowed to come back again?

I think it is because they just recently found out they had multiple accounts under different user names. They installed new software to sniff out accounts belonging to the same person.

And like Kees mentioned here, they wanted to try a different approach by outing them to the community.
