The BMW engineers put that clunk noise there to tell you its time for you to get heavy on the right pedal.

A lot of people were complaining about that noise when the car first came out.

Yes its true and well known, if you shift at higher rpms it won't..

mine does it too.. they said its just a throw out bearing on the clutch but its normal

Will there be a difference with CDV delete?

Yeah, shift @ higher rpm's and it will minimize the cluck... But not TOO high 'cuz you will get the 1-2 grind! LOL
