    Squeaky noise :(

    hello,

    There was this crack on the street where I hit it at a speed of 20-30 km/h, after that, I realized there was a squeaky noise that sounds just like "cockroaches" from the front right side of the car, and it matches the revs, the higher revs the more frequent the squeaky noise is! and I'm way too worried about this!! anybody have an idea what this could be until i check it tomorrow?! I can't sleep :'(

    It sounds like the alternator pulley has gone bad.

        It's a pulley for sure but which one that you have to investigate. Piece of cake to replace, takes about an hour max.

              While at it, inspect for any secondary damage on the underside.

                IMO Just change all the pulleys and get yourself a calm front end. That is what I did when I had my 330. changed 1 pulley, then the other failed, then the other failed...

                    They said its cuz of the oil leaking (from the VANOS line which i replaced twice already) that made the oil drip on the pulley and made it sound like this! which btw they sprayed WD40 on it and the sound disappeared for just one minute then it came back, the said i have to wash the engine with steam?!

                      Replace ur vanos seals and Valve cover gasket yourself:

                      1) DIY to replace the vanos seals: Beisan Systems - Procedures - Double Vanos Procedure

                      2) Be careful of these things Just did Vanos Seal DIY, some tips - E46Fanatics

                      3) and these things Replaced my Vanos seals and VCG and learned alot - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums
