Clutch clicking

Over the past year or so, I've noticed that my clutch would "click" occasionally when I am changing gears and only happens as I am pressing into the clutch. Has anyone experienced this as well? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough times for me to notice it. I would say it's usually within the first 3 gears. I'm wondering if that means I should be looking into replacing my clutch. I am currently at around 60K miles.

My car does this when it's very cold. I've passed it on as normal.

Even though this was discussed earlier -someone stated they went to dealer and tech said this is normal I also get the click, noticed it in my parking garage - the noise doesn't sound to me like an issue/defect more like a mechanism working.

It's funny...this morning was listening to my engine idle, then while out listened to another engine in a X3. When you hear the same model engine in different cars make it's usual noises it is almost like music.

Found a similar issue on the M2 forums, not sure if it's the same issue, but it does sound very similar. They determined it was the clutch master cylinder.

It's reassuring to hear 2 cars with the same noise unless they are both just broken

To the OP:
If you want to see if the clutch is slipping, get a clear path on highway, go about 35 MPH and go WOT in 4th gear. If it's going to slip, it's going to do it then.

Do these cars have Clutch delay valves? If so, get rid of those too. They were nothing but problems in the E9X.
