N20 engine noise on "cold" start

Does the N20 engine normally sound like a diesel when it starts first thing based on a "cold" start?
I have 147 miles on my 2012 328i and this morning I started it and it sounded like crap for like a minute before it quieted down and sounded like I expected.

I can understand if the variable valve control is doing something for cold start emissions and producing this noise, but the dealer didn't brief me on this so I'm concerned.
