The force that throws the clutch throwout bearing against the pressure plate is transmitted by a hydraulic circuit, much like brakes. If the seals in either the master cylinder (under the dash, on the clutch pedal on a 240D) or the slave cylinder (on the back , passenger side of the transmission) are bad, or there is air in the system, the travel will not be enough to cause the pressure plate to fully release. This can cause the symptoms you are describing.
