Default Weird engine noise/vibration ? What can it be? (ENGINE VIDEO)

528i 1998 touring

Has got almost 230000 kms and engine oil on recent Inspec II with 225000....Castrol Longlife 04, 0w30

Well i really dont know if this is a normal sound for my 28i engine since i dont know him yet very well...

When on idle, i mean not driving, only engine running, from the car inside i hear some noise i guess it comes from the outside, maybe engine compartment, something like:

ta ta ta ta tra tra ta ta (the "tra tra" means an irregular sound between all "ta ta"....)

YouTube - BMW E39 528i engine



Very low sound, need to be focused to hear....

Well since i dont know if this is a normal sound i put here my engine working on the outside and would like to know your opinion if these is a normal engine noise and take a careful look at the end part...where near the engine you could see some vibration...



Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. I would take your BMW to a good service shop so that they can help diagnose the issues.

Regards, Daniel.
