Today i was sitting in my car parked in the garage, after a well deserved bath (the car ) also a lil sprinkle on the engine bay, and i let the engine run on purpose for about 5 minutes, and while i was in the car i pumped the throttle a few times, in P mode. I then started to hear the same sound but way less present, smth like a blow off valve. Whenever i lifted off, above 1500-2000rpms at least, i could hear that sound and i was not sure what was it.
Can it be a bov?! What's it making?

Drive it for a few days and see if you have the sound after that.
If you still have the sound then best bet is to take it back to the dealer to get it sorted out.

Before the bath, i've driven it quite hard so i don't think it's that...the engine had the time to cool down.
