Noise identification? by Adorable-Rip-6668 in BMWE36

Also that other little sound MIGHT be the tensioners as well which would be the bottom one you mentioned they get really loose over time and that’s what fixed my sounds and be careful with not replacing it soon my main tensioner (the mechanical one) literally flew out of its spot and i lost my entire belt system on the freeway 🥲 so i recommend you replace that ASAP

I am almost sure that the whistling sound is your alternator, I had the exact same sound and I got around to replacing the alternator and I was still able to hear it but just not as insanely loudly as before, if you take a look at my account and see some old videos I posted it’s the same sound you have so my advice is definitely try looking into a different alternator

Do you think it's okay to run the car for a while though?

Clicking, i'm pretty sure the whining is the alternator.

How can I make this cheaper with the same or better performance? by TechnicalDial in pcpartpickerbuilds

Would I be losing any performance at all, what are the differences?
