Not vanos. Maybe lifter bleed? Or timing chain tensioner?

Maybe some wear in the vanos system over time? Some tolerance issue? As Mike pointed out earlier, if this will not do any harm long term, I would prefer not to have the dealership open up my engine. Thanks for everyone's input, learning new "features" of this car every day, haha.
