Not sure if anyone has seen this as I'm one of the few over 100K on my M3. I'm currently at 130K and I'm sure the clutch will need to be replaced soon, but I have something odd going on and I was hoping maybe someone has seen this.

The clutch isn't really slipping that I can tell but the last time I took the car out I noticed the shifter felt "looser" than normal if that makes sense. The car doesn't drop out of gear at all but as a test I put the car in 5th at speed and without pushing the clutch in I pressed the shifter into neutral with one finger. It took a little force but wasn't hard to do.

Has anyone seen this? I'm getting ready to put the car on stands and take a look at the shifter linkage, but I'm more worried it's something with the transmission itself.

Thoughts? Thanks!
