It is not uncommon for BMW engines to make a slight knocking noise. However, if the noise is persistent and loud, it could be a sign of a more serious issue. I would recommend bringing your car to a certified BMW mechanic for a thorough inspection.

I had the same issue with my BMW M8 when I first bought it. I found out that the knocking noise was due to low oil levels. I suggest checking your oil levels and topping it off if needed.

I have been driving BMWs for years and have never experienced a knocking noise from the engine. It could be a sign of a faulty engine part. I would advise taking your car to a BMW dealership for a diagnostic test.
