I totally agree with you on this. BMW at least told me "we don't know what it is. You'll have to wait until something breaks", which is a better answer than saying it is the heat shield or something lame like that. I have inspected visually all one could do without taking the motor apart. Can't find anything.

I decided to change the oil last night and found a couple of things, but don't know whether or not they are related, but for whatever reason, I just can't link pics and/or videos to my post. Will try again later or tomorrow.
