Hi guys,
Have a 2012 F10 520i, ~49k km clocked. Recently noticed that the engine is running super loud. Read another thread in this section and seems like a number of 2012 520is are having this problem as well.
I popped the hood after a cold start and the radiator cooling fan is going at full speed. It is damn loud, and the noise sounds like a motor bike. Video below.

After driving for about 20 mins, oil temp ~100C. Popped the hood and recorded the noise again. Video below.

Both videos show the car on P and in idle. Any opinions on what the heck is going on? Faulty thermostat? Water pump? Clogged pipes? Radiator going kaput? Or is this perfectly normal and I am overreacting?
Gonna bring it to a WS to get it checked out but don't wanna kena chop. Seems like others have changed multiple parts but still end up with this noise after a few months.
Thanks in advance!
