My Ride: 2004 Titanium Gray/Black Leather 545i, 6SP Manual, Sport Package, Anthracite Maple Wood, Satellite Preparation. H&R coilover suspension, Radenergie 20's

Im just wondering if my manual gear 545i is normal. It has this rattling sound (knocking) on initial engaging of the clutch, or when the clutch is disengaged. Just wondering?

My Ride: 2004 545i 6-speed, Black Sapphire w/ Auburn, Sport pkg, Premium Sound pkg, Cold Weather pkg, Fold Down Rear Seats 1995 M3 5-speed, Silver w/ Mulberry, Luxury pkg

Initially, I didn't think this was normal. I started the following thread to discuss this situation:

Based on that, I think it is normal.

I wondered the same thing - I notice it when I pull the car in the garage and I am slipping the clutch.

I asked my dealer during a service visit last year and he told me it was normal.
