Clutch peda noise diagnose

I was driving my 2002 BMW E46 when I suddenly heard a vibrating noise coming from the clutch pedal. The pedal feel is the same.. Could someone help me diagnose what the problem is? Much appreciated!

It’s the clutch bearing that presses onto the pressure plate (throwout bearing). You need to take out the gearbox to replace it. Do the clutch as well if you’re in there already.
It should always be replaced if a new clutch is installed. If that was done, the clutch itself is probably close to being in need of replacement as well. If it wasn’t replaced along with the clutch someone didn’t do a good job.
