Manual Transmission guys: Clutch Feel?
Hi all - I assume this translates to the E60 forum too, but I figured I'd start here.
I've had my E61xi MT for a little over a month now and, suffice it to say, the only thing I really am not digging about the car is the terrible clutch feel. Coming from an E39M5, I realize my standards may be on the high side, but seriously - I've stalled this thing WAY more times than my masculinity cares to admit! And then factor in the song and dance with the ignition button... Anyway, are there any OEM or aftermarket solutions to improving clutch feel/response in this setup? Thanks! Jeff |
clutch delay valve removal?

How many miles? My clutch feels fine. The OEM clutch is very weak though for sure for handling power.
|
And a clutch stop perhaps for shorter travel?

I didn't know about the CDV removal. But once Kyle (thanks, BTW!) pointed it out to me, a little googling and found this:

Who has done this in an e60/61? Since I've had the car I've never felt the clutch was quite right. Felt like I had to keep my foot on the gas a little bit while waiting for the clutch to disengage, otherwise the engine jerks a bit.

no problem. to this day I have no idea why BMW started putting them in their cars. They've been doing it since the E46 days. Supposedly on the E90, E60, etc you need to replace the CDV with some sort of bypass kit, but I could be wrong.
