Manual '06 Mini will not start

There was a similar thread for an '07, but it does not relate to mine...

I killed the engine taking off from a stop. When I tried to restart the car, nothing. The car did not jerk or stutter. I simply let the clutch out before I gave it enough gas.

When I turn the key, everything acts as normal besides that the engine will not turn over. I can here the relay switch when I push the clutch pedal down and release it. I can also hear the relay switch when I rock the key back and forth slowly in the starting position.

I've looked underneath and the electrical plug is intact for what I assume is the switch for the clutch. I am fairly confident it is not that, though since I can hear the clicking of the relay.

I'm stumped!! I just put a new clutch and flywheel in and am not very interested at sticking more money into it right now since it is more of a joy ride than a necessity vehicle, besides the fact I'm next to broke now. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!
