I've had my 540 for 3 months, over the past 4 weeks I have noticed a "pop" when depressing or releasing the clutch slowly. It occurs right at the engagment phase (almost fully depressed) and seems to be getting worse. Any thoughts.
Thanks

I had a 1998 528i. It gradually began to do the same thing. The factory rep said "they all do it," and in fact some of the cars sitting on the dealer's showroom floor had the click or pop to a greater or lesser degree. This is different, by the way, from the click made when the clutch contacts the device which switches off the speed control. In any case, I perservered and had the transmission pulled under warranty at about 20,000 miles. The click was caused by scoring of the collar in which the throw-out bearing moves. I believe the shift fork was also defective.
