That noise can be relatively loud, but my e46 m3 did this also and i realize that noise is normal. I believe its reffered to as flywheel chatter when i looked into it years ago.
The noise im reffering to is when the car is PARKED. Shifter in nuetral and clutch out. Press the clutch in and the noise immediately stops. Just sounds like the transmission is spinning with a somewhat worn out bearing. Again, its pretty quiet, but i never noticed a transmission to make noise at an idle. Oddly enough, it only does it after the cars warmed up.

The parked noise is from the throw-out bearing. Normal.
High performance cars tend to make noises that can be disconcerting at first. In order to increase performance, you must often sacrifice isolation from the mechanical operation of the car.
