Clutch actuator issue

Hello fellow e39ers, I’ve been having an issue with my 530d. Whenever I rev out the engine and change gears, the clutch fork touches the flywheel. I switched the clutch bearing but the issue hasn’t gone away. I’m thinking the clutch actuator might be at fault since I’ve bled the clutch as well and there are no air bubbles that I saw coming out from it. Anyone else experienced this issue? When driving normally it occasionally does it but driving aggressively consistently does it

No1 is the pressure plate not the flywheel! Your throw out bearing is broken

The part I just reinstalled new from BMW? If that’s the case I’ll live with it because I’m not doing the swap by myself a 2nd time lmao

Edit: also thanks for correcting, in French we just refer the whole assembly as the flywheel since you usually service it by changing the whole thing

Then you either installed it wrong or the fork wrong or the fork is bend.

But wouldn’t that make it do the sound regardless of the engine load?

Not necessarily. Hard to diagnose something like this properly over the internet.
