Strongly suggest a clutch stop (as other's have suggested). BMW's have always grabbed high, Japanese cars typically grab low and the travel path is very short by comparison. You'll get used to it. I have yet to drive one buy my 6MT is 5 days away from port.

I did a poll 4 years ago and was definitely late to the party with a clutch stop. Couldn't believe how many people use them compared to not.
