I was not following your thread (only read this one) but I have found the following:

I bleed mine on all three of my BMW's with the EZIBLEED. When I have finished bleeding it, I too find "no clutch". I then pump it 10-15 times and go have a Dr. Pepper for 5-10 minutes. When I come back, I have clutch.

No explanation! I never get air in the lines so I don't know what is going on. All I know is pump 10 times and wait 5-10 minutes. It works every time...

FWIW.....
