BMW driver question
I would like to ask for an opinion on the loud firing of my car. When the engine is cold, immediately after firing up I can hear a loud crunching sound for 2-3 seconds, which immediately stops.

I can feel a slight vibration from the drivetrain, which is normal, but in addition to that, I can feel a slight kick that feels on the seats.
