I just got my beautiful baby 335i sedan 6MT and I'm totally in love with her. There is one (hopefully) minor issue that started to bother me yesterday. I noticed that when shifting 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 at low speeds, the transmission makes some soft clunking/clicking sound as if there is some weak link somewhere in the assembly. There is also a feeling of some looseness or movement in the trasmission/drivetrain. Has anyone exprienced anything similar? For a comparison, my wife's 2005 A4 6MT does not make any sounds comparable to the one I described and the clutch/transmission feels very solid. However, I experienced hearing a very similar sound with the same feeling of instability in the clutch/transmission in my 2005 Legacy GT after I had installed an aftermarket clutch with a lightweight flywheel.

doesn't sound good. I would get that fixed pronto. If you can feel it consistently I would have it checked asap at BMW - then you know that the tech people have something "tangible" to go with.

i took my car in for the same thing . My friend is a master tech there checked everything out said everything felt normal???But my noise was a clicking and only on first when it would engage not in the rest of the gears .I guess its normal doesnt bother me as long as the cars running fine.

It's pretty annoying that there are 2 forums discussing the same cars. Something has to be done about that. I find e90post more infrmative, though.
