Longshot - Clutch Noise HELP

This may be a long shot, but worth asking. In the attached video, if you LISTEN closely, you will hear when I engage the clutch (press the pedal in) a louder CLICKING noise. Then when the clutch is not engaged (pedal out), the clicking noice goes away. Any ideas on what this could be? It goes away sometimes and the clicking stops if I do not engage the clutch fully, but when it's engaged, it's a loud clicking.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

My thought is it’s likely the throw out bearing on the clutch. It’s possibly worn out. The accelerated wear can occur from extended clutch pedal “in” times, for instance standing on the clutch when stopped instead of shifting into neutral and letting go of the clutch. I could be way off, maybe it’s the dual mass flywheel that’s seen it’s last days. This is just a guess, since I don’t have this noise, but just a suggestion of something to have looked at.

Another vote for failing throwout bearing. Probably not in danger of a catastrophic failure but don’t take the chance. I recommend getting it to a shop soon, especially if the noise gets louder.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I need to get it in the shop. The throwout bearing was on my list of possible culprits, so I am hoping that's all it is.

I'm having the same issue on my 2015 M4 6MT. Did you ever figure out what was causing the ticking? Was it the throwout bearing?

Throw out bearing most likely, mine went bad and when I replaced the clutch one of the clutch springs also broke off and was stuck on the clutch and was carving itself into the bellhousing. It was an odd situation.

Thanks guys. The car is going into the shop here soon to get the crank hub done, at which point I'll have them look into it. Hopefully it's something easy like the throwout bearing, but I'll find out and report back. Appreciate the insights
