The sound I think you are talking about stops so quickly I really can't tell what it is.

Can you have someone start the engine and record the sound from under the hood?

If you have an ongoing ticking of a lifter is will sound similar to the attached. It can be louder or softer but somewhat similar. bmw valve lifter ticking - Yahoo Search Results

Still can't tell what it might be. Has your mechanic looked at it yet?

well hello again 2 years later lol, they say they cannot guarantee 100% but if they have a bet to make, it would be on the CCV valve !!! does that make sense ?
