After I took the car from the dealer Friday afternoon I did spotted the noise in first 10min, the owner did agreed about the noise, after I did drove 120miles back the engine level was showing a bit low the sign to top up did come back again in the next morning after driving another 60miles.

I have a similar noise on mine. Here's my thread linked below with sound clips. I replaced both timing chain tensioners, and all four Vanos solenoids without success. Chances are you may have a broken engine mount according to feedback on my thread. My car has Vibra-Technics engine mounts which are apparantly known to fail. I plan to inspect them soon and get them replaced. Yours may have a loose engine mount nut which can also cause a similar noise due to resonance at certain rev ranges. See link.
