Hi guys,

I have been hearing a noise coming from around the engine bay/ transmission area recently. I had the car checked by a garage who said that the noise is definitely coming from the transmission but they would not be able to tell where exactly in the transmission the fault lies, unless they take the transmission out of the car. I was told it could be anything within this such as the DMF. If this is the reason for the sound, I genuinely would not mind as I was fearing the worst, rod knock, so I just wanted to know if i can get any of your opinions on what you think it may be based on the videos below.

I bought the car less than 6 months ago and I was given third party warranty, so I wanted to know if it's worth looking into so that I am not left out of pocket after this expires. However money is a bit tight at the moment, so I would only want to dive deeper if I must have to (I would still have to pay labour costs for diagnosis at the garage which would cost 500-100 I believe)

Anyways please let me know, any information would be appreciated highly. Car is a 2011 318i LCI, I believe it has the N43 engine.

Thanks
