I had to chuckle when I saw this...
My 118i made exactly the same noise, my brother and old man (both also car nuts) used to endlessly tease me about my diesel BMW when starting it around them.
I traded the F20 in for an X3 2.0i in January. Guess what? The N20 mill in the F25 is just as noisy at cold start, the noise is just lower frequency and maybe even slightly louder. It's BMW's direct injection signature noise, there's no getting around it.
My X3 is actually even more diesel-sounding once it's warmed up, I've gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore.
