New engine noise, lawnmower'ish sound?
So I recently starting hearing a weird noise around the front of the car. Wasn't sure how to explain it until after recording it but it sounds like a lawnmower in the distance or cards in the spokes of a bike. Sound is not audible when inside the car, only when around the front and more so by the front grill.
Will make an appointment with the dealer but curious to see if anyone might have an idea of what it could be? Link to short video - https://sendvid.com/tg7dj727 Link to longer video - http://sendvid.com/jopjdzeh Also when looking through the engine, I see metal piece with an arrow pointing at it swiveling a bit. Not sure if that's supposed to be moving/could be the cause? You can see it moving around at the 8 second mark of the longer video.

I have a 2013 M Sport 535i with 49000 miles that was making the same noise. About 2 months ago it started having cold starting issues ie.. Engine vibrates for about 30-40 seconds and it was making that noise. Took it to my BMW dealer along with some other issues like A/C not getting cold and when backing up the car makes a loud whining noise. Short story the noise like yours turns out to be a HPFP replacement, the A/C lines were leaking they fixed that and they never could figure out the noise it made when backing up. I am close to 50,000 miles now so I guess the noise problem will be taken care of after the warranty is off. It will be on me then.
