BMW 328i N20B20 engine sound

Hey all,

I recently had my timing chain swapped for a new at 155.000 km, along with all guide rails and oil chain.

Does my engine sound right?

Thank you for this awesome forum.

It sounds like a lawnmower, which is normal for BMW.

I may have heard some wastegate rattle... someone who has experienced that sound should chime in, but I'm pretty sure its there, faint though.
