Metal rattle on cold starts

My Mini Clubman 1.5 makes a metal rattling sound on cold starts (only when cranking, sounds and runs great after). The starts after the first cold start are normal. The car also shakes/vibrates when cranking. Could it be the engine mounts?

Wastegate rattle is not this loud. It's more of a ringing noise not a loud rattle or tapping.
