Still replacing the clutch, so any correlation to improvement will be confounded. Kudos to the dealer for finding it, but disappointing quality control.
Plot twist: new clutch has same loose sticker
I have had exactly the same problem, the dealer changed the gear box under warranty to my surprise but this made no difference. I took my car back to the dealer two weeks later who then said that it was a DMF issue.

I had a new clutch and DMF at just under 10k of which majority of the mileage was motorway so reduced gear changes, good new was that the new clutch and DMF cured the chatter.

One year and another 9k miles later and the chatter is returning, I am yet to take the car back to the dealer but when I do I expect them to say that it is my driving style that is causing the problems even though I have owned other BMW's and never had an issue in the past.
