I've used clutch stops on my previous manual BMWs, but I didn't think the clutch travel was too bad on my OG M2. I had the CDV removed last month so even without a UCP and/or SSK I was thinking the shifting was pretty good, reminding me of my old BMWs.
Heard from the original owner (I bought the car last year as a CPO from a dealership) and he mentioned the only stock part he changed was adding a BMS Clutch Stop. No wonder I didn't think the travel was too long. Looked up there today and of course it's still there. |

Ok guys what am I missing? I had the BMS clutch stop on my M240i and I remember the install took literally 10 seconds and there wasn’t an issue. Now with my M2C I bought the same BMS clutch stop but I can’t seem to get the damn clutch stop into the hole. I’ve tried pushing both forwards and upwards. No matter how I do it, the clutch stop goes in the first bit but any additional force seems to bend the clutch stop rather than push it further in. I have 2 of the 3 discs on the clutch stop for what it’s worth.
I’m driving myself crazy because this was the easiest install ever on the M240 and it should be the exact same thing on the M2C but I’m failing. Any tips or pointers? |

I ended using a box knife to trim the side on the stop to push it in. It still went in quite snug and is still there 7 months later. |

You're supposed to rotate it either counter clock wise or clockwise while pulling it out gently, some up and down wiggling helps it too. I've done it multiple times on mine and no issue.

Just installed mine. Feels alright but then I haven't taken it out yet. The original bumper is so thin @ no more than 2mm and made of silicone-like material. I also had a hard time getting it inside but if you turn it while you push, it's easier to go in.
I have small hands and the hard plastic was putting pressure on the back of my hand... so for those with large hands i would guess that's a bit tight on the pedal rubber slot. |

What was eventual determination, was there one?
I messaged a guy who makes and sells them in eBay, said M2 wouldn't even start without clutch being fully depressed so development was abandoned?! |

I ran with CDV delete + clutch stop for a while. No problems, feels great, but biggest improvement is adding AutoSolutions SSK. Some argue UCP is needed for 6MT nirvana, but I'm still using the stock clutch pedal. |

Yup, it was hard going in and I knew if I had to remove it for adjustment it would be a PIA to get out...sure enough, I wanted to remove a spacer and it wasn't coming out. I had to pull almost as hard as I could and then it suddenly let go all at once, my hand slammed again the sharp plastic under the steering wheel column and I ended up at urgent care with 4 stitches. Seriously. I couldn't help but laugh...

There is at least one youtube video I saw that showed how to remove the little metal restrictor (CDV) from the slave cylinder with a wood screw, but I didn't go that route (nor did I do the work myself). See https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1666477 for more details. |

Buying a new slave cylinder is easier, you could try removing it with picks and a wood screw but it's gonna be hard.

Well it's not awesome. On two rubber shims the other day at a light couldn't get into first gear. Back to neutral then into gear and I got it. cars behind me about to beep me lol
Down to one shim now and general shifting so much better, it really was notchy before with two shims but I just thought I was focusing on it more than usual. Nope it was notchy esp first three gears. Some cars tolerances may be better but I recommend no shims or one max. How people are running three is beyond me. Hopefully no damage to syncros or other mechanisms as not too many total miles with it on. Bit yeh, 2-3 shims is baaaad. Despite measuring with MHD torque act clutch and from what I could feel some cars do need the clutch depressing further than even when the auto power feed thing comes on (what on earth is this called, 'comfort throttle' or something probably?!) |

Strange. The clutch in mine drags slightly unless I push the pedal all the way to the floor. Most noticeable for obvious reasons when going into 1st and shifting 1st-2nd.
This would be the 2nd clutch in 4 years/15k miles with the first being significantly worse (it was replaced under warranty). |

Just today I think I realised it wasn't the BMS as first gear stuck again. With my gearbox at least I need to shift laterally with a small amount of force to cleanly then get into the first gear gate.
So today it did the same thing with one shim so don't think it's BMS clutch stop fault. Still I'm gonna rock one shim and try to shift more decisively into first! |
