Interesting..my Australia spec 2.0i (which is very similar to yours), also makes a rattly sound on startup. I think it's the direct injection.

My previous car (335i with N54 engine) used to have this rattle continuously (bit like a diesel engine). Not very loud in the cabin, but was told several times by mechanics that it was normal for the direct injection engines.

I think the X1/X2's 2.0i is the next gen of direct injection so maybe only noisy at startup?
