Yeah I was thinking about getting a smoke test done, it more than likely isn't covered in the $150 diagnostic fee. Need to find a good place in Houston to do it, or find out how much BMW charges.

Just curious you said there's a clicking noise. Is it more of a tapping, rattling, or a metal lid opening type of noise you hear? Also how many miles you have on your ride and have you had your vacuum lines all replaced yet?

I replaced maybe 3 of the lines but not all of them, none of the hoses though. There is around 68k miles on the car. Here is a recording of the engine, you can hear some weird noises at 10secs and around 20secs not sure if they are normal nosies though.

Heres more Sound of the engine when the hood open when I hit the gas. I checked the Vacuum Solenoids and they are making a suction noise when I unplug them so can't be that.

I'm just a big fan of when you don't know for sure, let someone identify or work on it that does. In the end I normally save money and have less chaos. If I don't do it this way my luck seems to always be costly. I think I would still take it to the dealer and have them check it out. If it turns out not to be covered under the warranty then collect the car and take it somewhere else for the repair.
