so...vanos? lifters? something else entirely?

truck is a 2001, 3.0, just turned 90kmiles. sounds like a diesel...figuring it's either the vanos or lifters. from what i've read, i'm not really getting the usual symptoms for vanos problem, other than noise. truck runs great...no loss of power, no rough idle, no hesitation. that leads me to believe it may just be lifter noise. this being my first BMW, i'm sure a lot of you may have a much better idea what may be causing the noise than i do.

any help is appreciated!! (ignore the sideways video..it's the sound we're concerned with here.)
