I want to add to this thread also. I too have this second gear grinding issue when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear at 5000+ rpm.
It usually happens within 5 minutes of starting the car and less frequent as the car gets fully warmed up.
I think the clutch disengagement/engagement doesn't match the clutch pedal in real time.
I am experiencing this at the frequency about once a day now.

This gearbox also has problem downshifting to 2nd rapidly due to the reverse gear gate getting in the way.

This car will be returned after lease is over. I am done with BMW manual gearbox, my old E46 manual transmission did not have any of these issues.
