Clutch Squeak

For the past thousand miles or so I have noticed a particular noise comming from the clutch. Each time I press in the clutch pedal it makes a squeaking noise. It doesn't sound like a bushing that isn't lubricated properly. It sounds like a squeaking valve of some sort. I know that the M5's have had problems with short clutch life, but I havn't ever heard of a squeaking problem. Have you experienced this?

I was looking at the UUC shifter and saw this, thought it might be worth a look:

I had that pedal squeak and it WAS a bushing in the clutch pedal.
Dealer replaced the bushing under warantee and the squeak was gone. ( I'm sure they lubed there too so who really knows).
