^ what he said

and yes nothing is wrong with your car, i'm assuming you probably gunned it a bit when the light turned green?

does the traction control explain the knock sound when I pushed the gas?

That could've been the sound of your wheels losing power and coming suddenly to a stop as the traction control kicked in.

Is this your first BMW, and if so, how long have you owned it?

Traction control cuts power, can provoke driveline lash, that's noisy.

Its traction control don't worry about it just drive more safe and check tires.
