I removed this from my 08 M3 about 6 weeks ago.. I wanted to drive the car for at least a month before I formulated my opinion, and I must say, DO IT!

Seriously, I removed the spring and installed a clutch stop from eBay and it feels like a proper sports car now. The clutch pedal throw is short, it grabs quickly, it is consistent and doesn't feel "springy" anymore. There is some movement in the clutch pedal itself, while it is all the way up (not depressed), you can move the clutch pedal about half an inch left or right. This could definitely be annoying for some, but it has not been an issue for me.

Overall this is a nice touch, and I am a fan. If you have any reserves, just do it, you can always put the spring back in..

5 month update: I added bronze AKG clutch pedal bushings and it fixed all of the movement I had previously described. The bushings are $15, I highly recommend them.
