How many miles? Sounds like the throwout bearing to me.

most of them make a sound when you put the clutch in quickly at low speed. Mine does it and my dad's 97 m3 does it.

At least with my car, it makes more of a thumping noise in that case, not a whining noise.

If the clutch was properly replaced, you shouldn't be getting a TO bearing noise. Maybe they forgot to replace the throwout bearing? Unlikely, but possible, I suppose. In my experience, though, the whining is almost always caused by the TO bearing.
