BMS Short Throw Clutch Stop Install comment/review

[gtlaserbeast]

Dearest friends,
I just walked out to my 2 day old 135i, opened the door, reached behind the clutch pedal, removed squishy-small oem clutch stop, and popped the BMS one in with all 3 shims. My only question is: why include the removal of the panel under the dash in the instructions? I have fat hands and I was able to easily reach in and do the swap. Really enjoying the shorter distance to the floor.
Best,
Will

Nice! Enjoy.

Instructions? I just stuck my hand in there and figured it out

I tried all three shim configurations and I found 2 shims to be the best.

Best bang for you buck mod ever!

What exactly does this mod do?

Gives u a better subcontious feeling of how far to press the clutch to shift smoothly. Because there is less guessing room. Not because you're a bad driver but because it helps to eliminate all that pedal travel after the clutch is disengaged. Cant beat it for the $ and ease of install

Correct me if I'm wrong on this but it sounds like you just making it where the clutch only goes down say 80% of the way thus not engaging the clutch 100%

The clutch doesnt disengage at the last 20% of travel. It probably does that at the middle. So the remaining travel distance is just travel. By removing the final short distance it doesn't keep you from fully disengaging the clutch. Lots of people have done this mod without any issues. Super cheap too.
