Clutch Squeak

'09 MCS with around 5,000 miles. When I first get going, the clutch sounds fine, but around 10 minutes into my drive, it the pedal to get "squeaky." Stays that way even once the car is off, but when I get in after a long day at work, no squeak until around 10 minutes into driving again. Thoughts?

Happened to my 2010 mcs as well... I assumed it was from being brand new and you really gotta wear it in so all the moving parts are nice and broken in, might need some oil or something. My squeak is gone I'm at around 3k

From: Under your car
Does the squeak sound like it's coming from the pedal or inside the engine bay?

So my dealer replaced quite few components and it helped for a while, but it's now doing it again in weather > around 70 degrees after about a 1/2 hour of driving. Sometimes I can reach under there and pul and push on the spring, and then things are better for a while. i think it just needs to be lubricated around the spring. Would WD40 work for this, or some other grease/lube?

I took my car to BMW to resolve the issue (under warranty) and they just greased the pedal (Again). After doing this a second time, the issue was finally resolved
