Brian, I need to know if it is an all wheel drive vehicle. I think that may be the clicking sound of the wheels when turning or a straight line of a distance. It sounds like CV joints are dry and need replacement in the front of the vehicle.
The sputtery running when first started is probably because the fuel mixture is not rich enough when the engine is cool. You need to have a mechanic look at this and adjust, if possible, the fuel mixture on a cold starting engine.
Other than that a general tune up always works wonders and if you perform the tune up, you may notice other things in need of repair prior to complete failure.
Your BMW is a fun car with great reviews, so take care of it and enjoy.
Drive safe…
Dave
