There might be some uneven clutch material deposits on either the pressure plate or the flywheel which could cause the juddering, which could cause the two flywheel masses to get out of sync. Just a guess. Clutches also grip better when they're warmed up, so if it was cold this morning, it might hide the problem.

If there's a single-mass solution for your car I'd probably choose to replace the clutch / FW with that, assuming you take the car in to get the clutch done. There is nothing magic about BMW clutches that requires any specialized labor. Any good indie shop should be able to handle it. It'll be expensive, though.
