Default Any bmw boffing on?

Just looked at a e46 323i for a mate and the clutch pedal has gone rock solid! Is there a known problem with them jamming up on the hydraulic side or is it box out time???

Mine was doing that sometimes and sticking, it was to do with the cruise control throttle cable. It kept sticking after I had used it. Just freed it off a little and it was fine for a while.

That's the throttle pedal that sticks isn't it? Why would the clutch stick after using cruise control?

I heard its common for the throttle pedal to stick after using it, but its a simple fix

Disconnect the pipe from the slave cylinder and see if the pedal is still stuck, will rule out if master cylinder/blocked pipe etc.

You could also undo the bleed on the slave cylinder and see if it frees up, I had a 5 series have the slave seize due to air in the system and being left
