update, I spoke a little bit ago with the mechanic, he is saying that it is kind of hard for him to duplicate the noise, and that probably thats a normal noise, that maybe if I can go tomorrow and show him the noise, probably thats what I would do, but at least he has a good atitude

Yeah, I have the exact same noise I took it to the dealer about 2 years ago, and they told me it is very common with manual transmission BMW's, all you need to do is hold your clutch down when you turn-off the engine and the gear won't rattle and make that noise. It works every time.
