Honestly, I don't think any of the folks here are imagining things; I also had my foreman listen to the noise and, like KnifeGun's experience, he said it didn't sound normal.

I just dropped off my car and again the foreman listened to the noise and heard it. The BMW of NA rep is in town so hopefully I will get more information later on today. Steven's Creek has been hearing more instances of this noise. They believe it only occurs on manual transmission cars.
