2008 BMW 328xi MT noise in 1st gear

[bmw328xi]

When I am going very slow in 1st gear (5mph), and quickly press the clutch, I hear a clank noise that seem to originate from the gear box. When I am accelerating in 1st and quickly press the clutch, same happens. Is this normal? Also, sometimes getting the shifter into 1st gear is kind of tight. Dealer told me all those things are normal, and that earlier BMW models were even louder when shifting. My car has < 3k miles.

Thanks!

All normal stuff. The clunking is driveline backlash. The engine torques up the driveline as you accelerate (even slowly), then whe you let off the gas, all the torque disappears and the driveline components basically rock back and forth, causing the noise.

Putting the shifter into first gear while moving is normally difficult. Sitting still should be pretty easy.
