Thanks! Nice to see the video. There are two similar methods in words in the General Maintenance section in the link in my signature line. The first time I heard about the "201 mm tool" was from Tom Cutter who was a BMW tech back in the 1970s...and still has his independent shop at Rubber Chicken Racing Garage.
About the only thing that I would comment on is the idea that the clutch arm needs to be parallel to the back of the transmission case. Actually I think it's more proper to say that the clutch arm is parallel when the hand lever is about halfway through the pull. This gives the hand lever the maximum leverage just at the time you need it.

Nice! I've done business with Tom Cutter. Great guy!
