How many miles do you have on the car? Original pads?

I had a similar issue with my 2008 335i BMW. The culprits were worn out anti-rattle clips; tough items to diagnose without just replacing them. My other thought is that you may just have debris on your pad and/or rotor. You can try a re-bedding process to see if that helps.

Other potential causes could just be old pads, a worn swaybar endlink bushing, loose balancing weights, something stuck on the tire, or the notorious driveshaft sticker flapping away and manifesting its sound towards the front wheel.

Engaging the brakes would only reduce the rotation of the shaft and a bit of wind...so probably not the issue. I just like joking about the sticker. :D

You're on the right track taking it to the dealer seeing how new the car is; let us know what fix they come up with.
