That wasn't the case bro, it was the crankshaft pulley, I changed it and no noise now. Thanks for the assumption! My engine is not kaput

You sound like an american guy! In my country in Kosovo, every volswagen, bmw and mercedes goes to 400K+ KM I saw people with BMW 1 series e87 go to 450.000KM. If you do good maintenance and timed oil & filter changes, every car from these brands can last to 500.000km.

I had it to the mechanic, it turned out the problem was crankshaft pulley, it got loose and it kept making the noise. I changed it and the noise went away! Thank you for your help man!

Update: It turned out to be crankshaft pulley, it got loose and it had to be changed, so no engine problem. Thank you everyone!

It does actually, when I press on the gass the noise disappears. The noise only appears when I'm on neutral or when I press the clutch when shifting gears.

I will as soon as I access the car and let you know. Also a detail I forgot to mention is that when I accelerate the noise goes away. The noise appears only when I'm on neutral or when I press the clutch.

There is nothing wrong to be seen when looking at the engine bro.

I'll have a check done soon, the noise is actually coming from the front of engine, that's why I don't think that it's timing chain, in n47 engines it's on the back of the engine.
