328xi - Clutch Shudder/Vibration

I purchased my 2010 328i x-drive 6MT about a year ago. 14.5k miles later and not one problem until the other day. I'm getting an inconsistent shudder/vibration in the clutch pedal when taking off from a stop (1st gear). Clutch doesn't seem to be slipping, just a vibration in the pedal when engaging. I don't have an issue in any other gear. It's not too serious yet and is pretty inconsistent. The car has not been abused or modified and is just used as a commuter car with the majority of the miles being highway. I have been the only driver of this vehicle. Will make an appointment with the dealer, just afraid it might not be easy to duplicate at this time. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue successfully diagnosed and repaired. Thanks in advance.

I also recently developed this issue -- 08 328xi 34,xxx miles. I feel as if the clutch might be slipping, but it's way too soon for it to go...

Looking forward to responses.

Hm I thought I've felt something similar on my 2011 E91 328i. I thought it was the rubber floor mat but maybe it's the delay valve.

i had this happen at 90,xxx i took it to the dealer and they did a tranny flush and recalibration twice before it stopped doing it, not sure exactly what it was but its gone...for now. not sure if you noticed but for me it was normally during damp conditions that this would happen

Recalibration? You are talking about a manual, right?
