High Clutch biting point

Is it just me or does the e9* have a high clutch biting point? I thought it was just mine but in our house we have 3 newish BM's & theyre all pretty high! Its getting a bit annoying changing gear, it's not comfortable to change if that makes sense, never recall having this issue on my E46? The 123d of my girlfriends & E90 is the same also, it feels almost like on old cars when the clutch is on the way out, its bugging me! Can anyone shed any light?

I know the CDV is a known ball ache but i'm not gonna start messing about with that whilst its under warranty.

I'm not a noobie to BM's by the way, I've had 18 E46's & 2 Z4's and an E39.

Jamie.

Can't say i have noticed the clutch having a high biting point. When clutches are on the way out they usually get further to the floor in my experience?

There is a way of lowering the clutch from the footwell through the pedal assembly basically turning and shortening the connection from the actual pedal to the cylinder. I had mine made higher when it was on the way out. Maybe try that?

Just been out for a drive in my mates BRAND NEW F20 120d & his bites at the exact same point, so i'm just being paranoid haha! Never had a car even a third of the value of this one so i'm just mega cautious about everything.
