N54 making a weird noise! Knock?

Hey guys,

I've kind of worried! Since am new to BMW and switched over from an Evox! My car has 72,000 miles seems every time I turn it on I get this annoying clicking sound coming from underneath the passenger side fender! Almost sounds like a knock it gets quieter once car warms up but never goes alway! Car runs fine no codes and I check my oil every day!! Mods are Jb4, exhaust, intake, dps, charge pipe, and bov! Am I being paranoid! Oh should I take it to a shop! Or say screw!! It and drive it to the wheels fall off!! Lol again thanks! Guys!!

probably wastegate rattle, especially if it gets better after the warm-up cycle.

Sounds like wastegate rattle, put it up on jack stands or ramps and have someone start it while you are under the car, listen near the turbos
