My 2008 e92 makes a noise at idle too. Not sure it's a whining noise, more like a knocking noise. When I press down on the clutch it stops. Not sure what it is but it doesn't seem to be an issue.

Exacly like that!!! Is that normal. I've been reading and it kind of seems like some cars do it and some don't (just the impression I'm getting)
