Car Kicks/Jerks as I Accelerate on Highway (What could it be?)

Hi,

I drive a manual 2017 330i and recently I have noticed that when I drive on the highway in 6th gear and let off the gas, the car "kicks" and it does the same thing once I give it a small amount of throttle. It's not extremely noticeable but it bothers me since it did not use to do this. I don't usually drive harshly (dump the clutch, fast shifts, etc) but I do occasionally launch it. The car has just under 6,000 miles and is still under warranty. Do you guys have any idea what this "kick" or "jerking" could be? I plan on going to the dealership to get it fixed but I won't be able to go for a few weeks.

Any opinion/advice is appreciated,
Thank you.
Nick

I'd say clutch, but it shouldn't be worn at 6,000 miles.
