Clutch engages starter (bmw e46)?

Hello, the problem is that sometimes when the car is start and i push the clutch, it engages the starter too and i hear that rattling noise (that you hear if you try ignition when the car is already start). initially i thought that the noise is coming from the bearing in the clutch (wearing out), but now i am pretty sure that it is because of this starter. also, sometimes, if the car key is in “on” position, and i push the clutch, the car starts. any idea? any solution? i just got the starter replaced two months ago, can it bcz of improper starter connections? thank you.
Answer
Your starter relay is stuck and e time you push the clutch in, it thinks it is supposed to engage the starter. it is a safety feature so that you can not start the car without pushing the clutch in.
