In a word, yes. You'll probably find it comes & goes tbh.
As long as it isn't evident when unlocking the car before you start it. If you get this, it'll be the valvetronic motor, which is not an uncommon problem. But if it's that, it's covered by BMW, there's a PUMA case for it, weather in warranty or not.
Enjoy the car, they're very good.
