Since this seems commonplace, is there a tech code for this or anything, so I can present this to BMW when I turn up? Or, a recommended dealer that won't try to fob me off?

I've had a look, and looks like it may become a major issue relating to the gearbox somewhere down the line... Guess I'll get it booked in!

But mine gets MUCH louder if you depress the clutch just ever so slightly...
