Well my mechanic said its without a doubt the DCT making the noise. They got it up on a lift checked for leaks, nothing. Checked the fluid and filter for signs of grit or wear n' tare, nothing. Made sure it's running the latest firmware and it is. Checked for any inconsistencies with shifting, any grinding reports, pump issues, or pressure issues and found, well nothing.
The mechanic also contacted some others in his network of BMW mechanics and they have no idea why the DCT is making this noise. So I'm at a loss here as to why or what is causing this. Like yourself neepertech the car pulls very well and shifts well just has this noise.
If we have any other late model 135i's out there with a DCT that's making this same noise, I wonder? Or, is this a very rare circumstance?

I just noticed the sound this morning. I was underneath looking for signs of the oil that's burning off on the passenger side that I believe is most likely a valve cover gasket leak.
Anyway, I only have ramps so I was limited in what I could see. I don't really have the time to take all the covers underneath off, but I heard this exact noise. Definitely in the transmission but like others I'm having no problems with shifting or slipping that I can tell. I've only had the car 6 months and I'm coming from a 99 4cyl Jeep Wrangler so there's a ton I don't know or getting familiar with but still, it seems normal.
I haven't driven it incredibly hard recently because I've noticed the oil leak but it still seems okay. I'm definitely interested to see if anyone gets update on this.
