This probably belongs in the n54 engine section but I wanted to start here with the knowledgable XI folks to see if anyone else has the same issue...

When I drive my friends 335i the clutch pedal feels a lot stiffer and engages closer to the clutch stop whereas my 335xi pedal feels mushy throughout and engages the clutch much higher. I can shift without grinding gears pressing about half way even with a thicker clutch stop.

Is this a pressure plate issue or an easy adjustable clutch pedal issue or another I vs XI nuance?

We both have removed CDVs and clutch stops, but he removed all the clutch pedal springs - that shouldn't make THAT much of a difference, right? Especially for the engagement range.

Any insight please!

Thanks as always!
