You're either not adjusting the stop precisely OR Your ignition cutoff is weirdly high OR Your clutch engages too high even for a e46 (is wearing out :dunno:). |
The various reports of problems with the N54 is what would put me off from purchasing the first model year of the 335.

There were a lot of people that had trouble with using clutch stops on the e46 b/c of the ignition switch. Someone designed an electrical work around iirc. I doubt it's Fernando's car or clutch.
I like the guy that complained about throttle lag. "do you think it's so great that it can't have anything wrong with it?" :lol: |

I would no tbe surprised AT ALL if the amount of travel required to activate the switch varies considerably from car to car since, from a design POV, given the long clutch pedal travel, allowing a sloppy margin could make assembly easier. After all, since they did not design for a cluch stop, the understanding is that the driver will simply push the clutch in all the way. In OEM form, that would work even if there were a varaince of over 1" in the travel required to activate the switch. FWIW, it's not as if my clutch stop doesn't help. It does help tremendously. It's just not perfect. But I am still very glad I have it.;) |
You may remember that I used to have an '01 325Ci...
I never put a clutch stop in it -- even though the excessively long clutch throw and high engagement point was very annoying. I eventually got used to it, but still never liked it. Probably about 2% of 1st gear starts were very bumpy because the clutch feel was so bad. I now have an '03 530i -- while it still has a relatively long clutch throw, the clutch engagement point is much closer to the floor and has a better feel to it. I very rarely have problems in this car. |

Fernando, I know for certain that the switch point varied dramatically from car to car. I was lucky and had a decent stop spot. Friends . . . were not so lucky. Of course, on the M3, I had the clutch stop set so the slightest movement engaged the clutch. Now that was a set up. (Everyone, and I mean everyone with one exception, stalled the car the first time they drove it b/c the pressure point was so close, even when I warned them.) I wish I could do that in my current car, not that it's bad in stock form. |
