Noise/Vibration - Subtle at Cold Idle

I have a small problem, 2011 E90 328i here, hearing a slight humming vibrating from something in the bottom end of the motor/header (possibly?) when car is idling cold. Once warmed up noise seems to disappear. Thoughts from anyone? I have BMW PE so not sure if maybe one of the clamps needs adjustment.

If u can feel the problem from the pedal I have the same problem (2009 e92 n51 328i). The vibration used to happen all the time when I start up the car in the morning. Ever since a month ago the vibrating just stopped on its own.

Yeah this seems to get worse when it's colder outside which leads me to believe the BMW PE I have is out of alignment. I was backing up about a month and a half ago and swerved to avoid some idiot behind me, backed the tip right into a curb and pushed the whole exhaust to the left. I was able to straighten it out on the hanger, but I guess I knocked it out of alignment more than I thought. The noise appears to be coming from just after the header.

So I messed with mine a little this morning and apparently if I take it out of gear, the vibration on the pedal goes away...

Mine does it regardless of whether I'm in neutral or not.
