Clicking noise when depressing/releasing clutch after a drive.

I can hear clicking noises when I depress/release the clutch after a drive. It goes faint or is less noticable after it sits/cools down... *Note this is with the engine off*

What do you guys think it could be?

I can also feel it on the bottom of my foot at each click.
Bringing it into the dealer on Thursday morning; hopefully they can figure something out...

(Please turn up your volume. Apologies for the noisy background; my camera sucks :()

Hey, Defcon888, I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering what the issue ended up being, if you don't mind. Sounds like exactly the same thing that's happening to my new-to-me 2009 Cooper S -- I thought at first that maybe my driving position was weird and my shoe was catching on the resting spot to the left of the clutch pedal, but nope, it's definitely coming through the clutch pedal.

Same issue with my 2009 R55 (20K). I thought my shoe was clipping the 'dead-pedal' at first. I see there are no answers, so I'll float it to the top.

I had this same issue "addressed" last time i was in for service. They said it needed new guides which they replaced to stop the clicking and faint squeaking. It didn't change a thing. I notice it most when i'm in a drive thru or stop and go traffic.

I had this issue, with a "click" that I "felt" going down, and a "click" I could hear upon releasing the pedal.

The dealer replaced a pin and adjusted the clutch pedal, and it now works as expected: smooth and no noise.
