Phoned supplying BMW dealer and it's going in this Wednesday, so keep my fingers crossed they have a fix.
Good news No clutch judder any more!
Got the car back yesterday from the BMW dealer, they carried out a software update on the car but they informed me that BMW advised them to removed the gearbox and inspect the duel mass flywheel and the clutch plate just in case, after inspection they were satisfied that all were within the tolerances given by BMW so did not require changing.
I can only go by what they have told me, but after trying out the car on the steepest hills around here, no clutch judder at all. and may be its my imagination but the car feels smoother at idle too.

Keep my fingers crossed the judder has gone for good.
