How long you had it for?

Mine does exactly the same thing on startup.

Only when its cold start. And the noise only lasts 1 to 1.5 seconds. Then it totally goes away.

I took it to my BMW Specialist - Mechanic and he said that my engine sounds fine. He also said that they have fixed already 2 cases. One 120d with only 17.000 o clock and one 320d, and mine does not sound like them. It was night and in a hurry when they checked it and i will take it again to check in a couple of weeks when i will do an oil service.

This did not appear now. I had it since i got the car more than a year ago and never noticed it untill i read some posts.
