2013 E93 6MT M3- Transmission knock?
Hey All- I am in the process of purchasing a 13 6MT E93 private party. Has 43k miles. Two things I noticed was the gearbox sounded pretty mechanical while changing gears in a normal driving rev mode. I heard thats normal. Second thing that caught me a little offguard are a few clunks while owner was reversing out of parking spot. I included a video here. Starts a 8/9 second mark and ive heard three clunks one of which is obviously the gear change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Its sort of a handshake limited opportunity purchase with older owner thats had it since 2016. New clutch in at 26k miles right after he bought it.

Does not sound normal to me. When the car is reversing then there are two knocks which should not be there in my opinion. I don't know what it is. I guess something related to drivetrain.

The clunks before the shift in to first are a little odd. Not sure they are a huge worry (I’ve gotten used to a number of noises in my E93 6MT), my experience hasn’t included that particular clunk.

Ive heard from others that those clunks are happening when clutch is pressed. Either for a gear change or just hitting clutch when getting close to stall but not changing gear.

I’d be more concerned about why a clutch was replaced at 26k miles? How poorly was it driven to need a new clutch that soon?!?!

that noise is from pushing in the pedal. thats a normal sound. the flywheel probably wasnt replaced when the clutch was changed which is fine.
