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.

everyone here can thank the CDV valve for the feel, or lack of and the delay for many shifts in 1/2. I am working on modifying mine next. Ironically if you know how to drive a manual, the more likely you will have issues with cdv valve equipped cars.
