It sounds like the hydraulic tappets.
Once the oil pressure builds, they should be silent.

never had a strange noise from the engine - but my steering wheel sometimes gives a noise as it moves to driving position from full retract at startup - otherwise I have not experienced anything you describe in either the '01 or '06

As I have never driven a gasoline powered X5, mine's a diesel,
others here may advise. A car I did have some years ago did this very thing. Didn't cause any problems.

this sound comes from the starter, you may need to change the starter. it costs around $600.

hydralic lifters will click till they pump up, most cars will make the sound when it’s cold, the oil is thicker and takes more time to get the lifters pumped up. If your car was sitting for a long time it can take longer to pump up also.

engine noise on startup
Hello fellow X5er's!
I rarely post but felt I should as my problem is fixed. I also had the "dry engine" sound on startup. I had taken the X to my favorite mechanic, Uli at Hafkemeyer Motors here in Kansas City for a new water pump (93K miles on the 4.4). 'Didn't mention the startup noise. Interestingly, when he called me after looking it over, he told me that he noticed I had a leak around the oil filter holder and said the seal was bad. I had him put in a new filter and seal and now, zero noise at startup! My speculation is that the bad seal allowed the oil to drain from the filter holder when the engine was shut down and caused dry startup noise just like the sound the engine makes on the first start after an oil change. 'Just my two cents. I hope this is helpful to some of you. Regards, Scott p.s. 'Had to change the water pump on the 740 4.4 at nearly the same mileage as the X5. For an otherwise great car, I think the weak point of the bimmers is their cooling system components. IMHO 1999 M Roadster, 22K miles 1998 740i, 120K miles 2002 X5 4.4, 93K miles
