I occasionally get what we used to call "clutch judder" but only when cold and going uphill (pulling out of my driveway). It is remedied by increasing the throttle at or slightly before (not after) the point of clutch engagement. While I usually try to engage the clutch at about 1,200 rpm, 1,500~2,000 seems to solve the problem when cold and going up a significant grade.

I suspect the greater low rpm torque would make this unnecessary on the 135i.
