Clutch Stop Options?

Burger Motorsports makes a clutch stop for previous Mini/BMW models. I emailed and asked if it worked for the F56, and they said they didn't think so.

Has anyone found an option yet for the F56 or used the Burger one on an F56 successfully?

There were always lots of "experts" yakking about how wonderful the clutch stop was on the BMW forums. I could not see the point of it (unless you are a constant "track rat") as it makes shifts more abrupt. I find the F56 clutch to be so easy to use that I would not fool with a clutch stop. To each his own.

I'm not keen on the way the clutch travels in my Mini and I was looking for options. Since it's a $10, easy peasy mod that is easily reversible, I figured I'd ask about it.

Thanks for your input

Sorry, didn't mean to sound chippy. I am just not a fan, but I'm sure you will others who think it's a great tool. That's why I said to each his own.
