I couldn't say that there is a specific reason why yours is different but maybe if you could have someone try to rev it while you have the 5 minute warm up you state it happens;maybe you will hear something.
I was also surprised at how much it was moving/buzzing once I did locate it on the X3.

Also electrical items tend to work different in warmer temps than colder. Coils are a great example. Possible misfire at warm up/ start up but fine after a drive cycle.

Well whatever the case is, I hope you are able to find the noise. Maybe a go pro under the hood would help.
Thanks a lot! The car is at the dealer right now for this noise, so I will ask them to check that too.
