Would you call it a raspy noise as the revs get to the higher end just before changing up? I had a couple of loaners while my car was in for the chain etc and a 114d with 300 miles on the clock sounded exactly the same so I stopped worrying about this noise.

Keep an ear on it but I don't think it's a problem and you will get used to it eventually.
Hard to describe a noise but yes I'd say it's raspy. It's a rev-dependant ticking noise. I didn't have it before and the 118d loaner I had didn't have it either as far I could tell. I think the ticking is there from 1500-2000rpm and up. Probably there all the way to 4500rpm but hard to hear it as the overall engine noise get loud enough to cover the sound when you reach the upper end of the rev-spectrum.

Could aswell be a loose screw or some forgotten tool vibrating, I haven't tried listening with the hood open while revving. Could be anything, I haven't made much effort to localize it yet.
