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?

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.
