Clattering sound at low revs under power

Hi everyone,

My 118i has +- 2300km on it now after three weeks, and in general I'm very happy so far, it's an amazing machine. The sheer effortless pace when I ocassionaly flip it into Sport mode has not stopped putting a grin on my face!

One thing I noticed yesterday though when driving with the windows down, is that there's a definite clattering/rattling noise (from where I can't tell) when I accelerate with anything more than very mild effort at low speeds from 1500-2000rpm. It's most noticeable in 2nd gear, I presume because the speed's low enough that I can hear it. I can only hear it in that rev range though for that short initial burst, as soon as there's enough momentum going it disappears.

This is not a big problem, but I just wanted to check if anyone else has noticed this before I take it in to the dealer to have a look?
