Hi
Have just listened to this and think it sounds terrible - how can that be normal?! Could you try a different dealer and see if they come to the same conclusion?
I have an R53 MCS and it made a noise very similar to this a few times when started from cold but it would not make it for the dealer when I took it to them - typical! It seems to have resolved itself as it no longer happens. I always thought that it was a lack of oil but the levels were fine.
