Now that's something I can listen for.

I hear it too, what brake pads are you running?

If it is the brakes activating (which would make sense for 'auto-LSD' to be working hard there) the pedal dance should cure it. Presuming you're doing the full 3s press to turn off the TC already. (based on the description in the OP you have read the manual for your car and are differentiating between the modes)

Supposedly the slip light will flash when the car engages auto-LSD mode, if you can get a camera over your shoulder, on the driver window or on your helmet that could tell you right away if that's what's happening.

Marketing has pulled the wool over the eyes of new sports car buyers for a long time, at least this doesn't render the car undriveable.

And it could always be some other odd noise, these aren't bimmers after all with several hundred lbs worth of sound deadening.

Read through the whole pedal dance thread, there are some foibles and I certainly struggled with adapting to it.
