[RESOLVED] Trying to Identify Engine Rattling Noise. Video Included

Hello everyone,

Few days ago, after stopping my M3 E92 in front of my garage I heard this weird rattling sound comming from engine bay.

It is really hard to hear it, except you sitting near the front of the car. Sound is comming from passenger side. I also unable to find similar sound on YouTube or here on M3Post, so decided to create new thread.

You can hear it clearly from the begining of the video, dissapears at 0:08, when I moved phone little bit higher, and appears again at 0:17.

Anyone heard something similar before? I hope this is one of the pulley, and not something bad, like VANOS or some issue with engine head.


UPDATE - 17 Jul 2018:

So the issue was with tensioner pulley on A/C, power steering side. Replaced both pulleys, replaced belt and everything sounds really quite.

Original BMW pulleys can be replaced with INA - less money to spend, same pulleys as in original boxes.
