They said there was nothing wrong, compared it to others in the lot and it wasn't out of the ordinary. unfortunately the only person I was speaking with was a receptionist so I couldn't ask if it was injectors or not. Anyway, peace of mind that I had it looked at at a dealer which they have then logged.
hello .. we had a BMW z4 35is .. and the injectors on that made a racket, as said our recent XE s was the same
My early production V6S needed a supercharger and then new valves. the exhaust valves were found defective and allowing excessive lash despite the hydraulic dampers. this apparently affected only a very few early engines, but there are probably some out there that aren't aware of the problem. the warranty and service were both excellent. either of these issues would be very expensive after warranty!
That's strange as for the V6 for sure does not use hydraulic tappets ? when you say dampers is this what you mean ? the only reason I know this is that I have the service manual purchased from TOPIXSS100 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2017 6:34 pm My early production V6S needed a supercharger and then new valves. the exhaust valves were found defective and allowing excessive lash despite the hydraulic dampers. this apparently affected only a very few early engines, but there are probably some out there that aren't aware of the problem. the warranty and service were both excellent. either of these issues would be very expensive after warranty!

Difficult to tell from your video how loud the rattle is, but mine does sound a bit it tappety (could be the injectors I suppose) on start up from cold. It quietens down fairly quickly when up to temperature. Not changed at all in 18 months i.e it's not got any worse, so I assume it's normal. I'm not aware of much noise when I drive away, bit I'll have a listen for it above 10mph now that you've mentioned this.

Listened to mine today. It is pretty clackety on start up from cold but couldn't hear it above 10mph even with the windows down. Noise subsides very quickly when the engine starts to get a bit of temperature on it.

As Kaspa says, could be injectors and worth getting checked out.
Have a look at this, this guy had the same and it was a warranty job:

Mine has a loud and distinctive ticking noise when starting. Cold or warm still does it. Sounds like a bag of nails and last 1 minute max before stopping and returning to normal noises
Best heard from low down on the car to the rear of the front wheels.
Dealers have diagnosed the flaps on the active exhaust as the culprit and will be fixing it on Tuesday next week. Covered under extended warranty, so we shall see what happens

I'm getting mine checked out when it goes in for service on Tuesday. Always had a ticking/rattling kind of noise coming from the engine bay area on cold start up, we'll see what they say.

Strangely mine has started doing the same. Only just noticed it while I'm on my European road trip!
