I would assume that they will say it is normal.. Again, not overly concerned with it, since I have 100k warranty remaining. So if it is an issue, it will come up before 100k the way I drive it, and it will be covered.

I did some research on rough starts and this rattling, and it seems as most N55s have rough start issue, and some have this rattle. My buddy at work has x5 with N55 and no rattle or rough starts. His buddy with same X5/N55 has rough start issues.. Local BMW enthusiast stated that vanos noise on N55 could be mistaken for rattling noise.
