Can you give us any more details on the specific symptoms?

Interesting...
I recently purchased a 2007 X3 3.0 si ("M" , for what it's worth
)
with a manual. (about 50,000 kms on the clock)
It is in great shape and my wife and I searched for this particular model with a 6 speed as we have always liked the manual feel.
That said we have been disappointed with its "feel". From 1st to 2nd, it often "clunks" as though one is "dropping" the clutch.
I took it into Calgary BMW and they say nothing is wrong with it.
That was a month ago and it still seems to do it every now and again. Sometime while reving high on the shift and sometimes not so...
We really cannot pinpoint what brings on the "clunk" but will be taking in again soon and asking for another diagnostic.
