as one of the comments in the youtubes says:

..I still think it is Valvetronic related and from what I've read lately it could be possibly a broken cam follower spring. This would explain the noise and the lack of performance below 2000rpm.

Take the cam cover off and have a look.

replacement is correct, I just checked on my BMW parts catalog.
But I have no experience with that engine.

hi,

i think its not a good idea to use your car anymore .....there are really a lot of videos with damaged chain tensioner ...even in german.....its alway the same noise.....i think you should repair it before your engine is damaged completely.....

bye
