i did some research &asked some of my mechanic friend(not bmw experts), everyone tell me its my tob,which mke sence according to what i find online,so i got a new luke clutch kit along with new tob&pilot bearings and driveshaft rubber bearing ¢er support bearing .anyways problem wasn't solved.after all the money i spend,im lost&pissed,don't know what do. i lovemy e30 and im desperate looking for some help,what could it be?
comeon guys i have fate in this forum. someone please help!:(

Did you see any wear patterns on the clutch or pressure plate? Did you replace the clutch arm ball mount as well? It's #5 in this diagram. (http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AF93&mospid=47305&btnr=21_0020&hg=21&fg=05)
How old is the slave cylinder? Those can take a beating, and if they're not properly bled the pedal won't cleanly disengage the clutch plate. Reverse bleeding with a cheap oil can is the ticket.
