Normal N54 engine sound?

Hey guys. I recorded my engine sound where you can hear when I close up my phone to the left side near the boost solenoids a strange noise which I’m not sure if it’s normal. Do your sound the same and is this the valvetronic or something else? Thanks for the attention!

My car makes a similar sound toward the rear of the engine. I got paranoid so I sent in an oil sample for analysis, but still waiting for results. Following

That’s normal and on these cars the injectors are also pretty loud.

Just like an old sewing machine. There insanely loud without the engine cover.

The chugging or helicopter sort of noise you hear i think is coming from the throw out bearing near the clutch or is the dmfw. My first 335i made the same noise.. everthing else is normal.

The engine cover muffles A LOT of noise..
