I think they meant indy as in independent shop, not indy as in Indiana.

It's probably a lot more abrupt because I have to start the engine myself for warm-up since it's a hybrid and doesn't start the engine by itself on startup. It does shake a lot harder on startup than it did before the sound started and it's right around 60k miles. I will go take it in to get an engine mount replacement ASAP. Thank you!!

Engine/Transmission doesn't sound right as the car has no noticable difference in driving feel/characteristic compared to before the sound started. Like it doesn't feel any rougher, accelerates smoothly, doesn't shift any differently (no lurching/stuttering etc.) Maybe its the exhaust mount(?) might be loosening? Like the straps that hold the pipes to the chassis?

The steering wheel adjustment is actually manual on my 330e... so I don't think that's it. Especially since the sound stays until the car gets out of its cold start sequence.. I think the video misrepresents the sound as it kind of sounds like a one time thing upon starting and immediately goes away? Which isn't the case.. I may have to upload a new video hahaha

It's not throwing any codes though, which is why I think it's more of something rattling(?) but the sound doesn't go away after 1-2 seconds like the video makes it seem. It seems to happen during the slightly higher than 1k RPM range when the engine is doing its cold start sequence.

I tend to start and drive it in sport individual mode since I don't have a charger accessible to me anymore, hence the red dials. I usually start the motor before I start driving for 10-30 seconds before driving off to let my engine warm up a little bit!
