Just bought bmw1502's black 1989 325i touring. The clutch biting point is very low, yet when it sags if i take it out of gear and either pump the clutch or take my foot off, the pedal comes back up. Clutch is biting fine just very low.

Is this common?? slave cylinder maybe?

if anyone could give me some info that'd be bostin!!!
