That is the reason people buy a modified one. You can plug everything in with out it, but the dealer would notice. If you are having clutch issues on your car I would still reccomend to change it back, because if they look and it is modifed you can still be screwed.

Yes you can, but becareful. We tried that on my friends e92 and the plastic melted. The older BMW's had metal ones and were easy to drill. The stock piece is like 6 dollars i think from BMW.
It is #13

The part number is 21526764872. I would still reccomend to buy a modified one to save you the trouble.
