Is this normal? Car runs great and I have no problems with it.

This is paranoia at its best.
Mine does that sometimes too. It does it less frequently now that I'm past break-in. There's a paraghraph in my owners manual, forgot the page (and it's not on the online manual that you can download) about something like this being normal at times on start-up too.

Also, BMW just updated the cams slightly so this may have had something do do with it. I wouldn't worry about it.
