N55 chain tensioner rattle?

Hi guys,

I'm happily driving my MY17 M2 for about a month now. I have put on 3,000km thus far, so I am well on the way of doing 35K km/year with it.

Absolutely love the thing, but I noticed a little noise inside the cabin that appears to come from the engine. I hear it when I am lifting the clutch and the car gently starts to roll or when I am just driving low speed in first or second gear. It sounds a little like a chain/tensioner/rattle. When picking up speed the exhaust/ASD trumps it so I don't know if it's present then.

Anybody know if this is normal? Factory warranty ends at the end of this month, so if something is up I would like to know beforehand. I want to ask owner's advice because Belgian dealers see 1 M2 for every 1000 of diesel cars. Therefore not really relying on their expert judgement if they send me home saying it's normal.
