Official BMW TIS states that anything below 1mm measured at the opening side of the rivet = replace.

If it is above 1.1mm get it done under warranty

They will probably find the clutch has plenty of life left. It's usually down to the compensator causing the slur. Ask to see it when it comes out. If it's not clutch wear they should change the clutch, flywheel and anything else required fully under warranty.
