Thanks EBMC for trying. I really appreciated your effort. Hopefully, I can get the FSE to approve the fix to my car this Friday.

As far as hosting -- don't forget Busta's FTP site. I think he's pretty much given us permission to use it... His instructions are in the BMW TIS thread somewhere...

I finally got the FSE to OK the repair.

Please see full story here

I am crossing my fingers now.

For those of you who have watched my video (Thanks to EBMC, Rody, and others) Does my engine sounds normal?

Problem solved!!! I am keeping my car after all.

The noise comes from a faulty Cam Chain Tensioner, which was recommended by the FSE to be replaced. My car runs like a charm now.

Thanks for all your help
