Ya took off the belt to make sure, and had the scope on the head, seems like the noise is coming from there. And this guy only works on BMW, Thorold Imports in Thorold Ontario.

Taking it to another BMW mechanic in town to get an idea from him. I will discuss the bill with this guy when I get the truck, which I have decided to tow over as I will not put more miles on it.
