So... your dealer might be able to get BMW to pay for the parts IF you pay for the labor. I would hit them up for some "good will". Also... a tune will dramatically shorten the clutch's life span.

I HAD THAT CRICKET SOUND! I thought that was normal!
Apparently, my dealer is going to check if it's blue before they do anything
And I may up having to eat the cost quoted at 1850... (1200 labor, 650 parts).
There was definitely quite a bit of that chatter sound... since I picked up the car.
I only had stage 1 on the car for a short time because it has been in and out of the service shop so much (20-40 extra hp, so not much more than PPK1). So the car should be able to handle that...
