Why does my BMW X6 make a rattling noise when I start it?

I recently noticed that my BMW X6 makes a rattling noise every time I start the engine. It only lasts for a few seconds and then goes away, but it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this and is it something I should be concerned about?

It's likely that the rattling noise is coming from the timing chain tensioners. These can wear out over time and cause noise during startup. It's not uncommon for BMW X6 owners to experience this issue.

Another possible cause could be a loose heat shield. This is a relatively easy fix and shouldn't be a cause for major concern. Just have it checked by a mechanic to be sure.

I had a similar issue with my BMW X6 and it turned out to be a faulty engine mount. It's important to get this fixed as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.
