Anyone have an X5 5 speed manual??

I just took delivery on my 2003 x5 yesterday, I just installed the quad piupes for the 4.4 and rear clear lights. Anyways I think the synchro in my first gear is not working properly:
When you are in traffic at about 10 miles and you engage the clutch rolling while it is in first gear the car makes a whining noise, depending on the speed it gets qhite loud. Also going at about 15 miles per hour if you engage the clutch and try tu put it into first gear it will start clickking really loud, even if you are going 5-10 miles per hour. Does anyone have another manual traqnsmission x5 who can tell me if this is normal. I have just driven the car 80 miles and took delivery on it yesterday. The car is BMW CPO and it has a factory warranty until 08/19/07. How is BMW when you take your car in for problems, the warranty should cover this right? I called my sales guy and he said that was nbormal in some cars but I have never heard that and I have driven manual cars including bmw's for years. Should I worry about this? and what is the correct step to take next as tomorrow service is closed because its saturday?
