Throwout bearing?

I recently just purchased my e92 m3 and have since noticed that the 6sp manual transmission is realitively loud. Not only when shifting gears at a low speed but also at a complete stop after parking. Sitting in the car with the transmission in nuetral i can hear the ever-so-faint sound of what seems to be like a worn out bearing. When i press the clutch in, the noise stops, and returns when i rengage the clutch. Again, it is very hard to hear (best heard in a garage with the stereo completely off)

Maybe im just being picky over the new car (...well used but less than 28k miles on it) but this noise worries me. Anybody else notice a noise like this? Or is it normal? I didn't want to take it to the dealer and waste time untill i know for a fact somethings wrong.
