Low quality fuel.

Test it with higher quality fuel, or if you can't get better fuel - use octane booster.

Are you running stock tune?
Quick update. No dealer as it's not under warranty anymore.

The sound persists, though it's not pinging as logs show almost no timing correction.
Still at a loss as to what it is. I've completely went through the underside of the car when i fixed the bowden cable clip. Nothing loose, no witnesses marks of something touching something else, etc.

And a quick update update.
Though not a b58 problem the clip that holds the bowden cables up broke and caused a 'death rattle' iin the car. 8 dollar part, 2 or so hours of work (exhaust, heat shielding removed and the gas tank needed to be lowered to fix it) and it's better.

Also im starting to smell burn oil on occasion. I haven't even tried to locate from where yet, but I'm guessing, unsurprisingly, it'll be the VCG.
