Rattle upon start

F56 S 2014
When starting there is a pronounced rattle from the bottom rear of the hardtop.
Sounds like the exhaust pipes are hitting the frame.
When I exert pressure on the pipes they seem tight.
Comments/similar experience?

How many miles have you driven ??? Not that it has any direct correlation to rattle noise, but just curious ..

I would check the heat sync tin material around the exhaust or the exhaust tips are one tight.
