I never removed it during the 3 years I had the car, but it was a lot more of an involved job than it was to remove the spring from my BRZ, which was thankfully pretty easy over-all. Even with the spring in, the BRZ clutch was still better than the BMW clutch with that god-awful CDV.
My IS300 has the same BS. It was inline with the hydraulics and wasn't to bad to delete. You just took it apart and then gut it out, put it back together and bleed. The other problem with my IS300 is it has ridiculous DBW lag. So between that crap on the clutch damper crap and the DBW lag it makes you feel like an idiot. I also owned a G35 Sedan 6MT which had tons of DBW lag too. It also made you feel like an idiot. I remember the guy that bought it went with me for a test drive and drove it like crap. He kept saying, "I promise I know how to drive a manual". I would just laugh and say it's just how the car is. I was glad to see that car go, hated that thing.

There were a couple of instances where I remember uttering that exact same phrase to passengers in my E90 after lurching a shift. lol

I must have a dead foot or something. All of these people saying they can feel the engagement point after removing the spring. All I notice is that the clutch pedal is harder to press (which I do like, don't get me wrong, with the spring in it felt like there was barely any resistance). Maybe with time I'll learn that feeling but I honestly can't tell. That and I'm okay with pressing the pedal past that hair trigger spot to disengage the clutch, means less chance of me screwing it up and grinding horribly.

Perfect solution would probably be a replacement spring that has enough force to hold the pedal up but not enough to assist (mask) the pressure plate.
Ok, that make sense thanks.


Mtec make a replacement spring that has a lot less force, but still more than no spring at all.
