It's Sunday night and I hear a unsettling noise

No really. Tomorrow I'm going to the local BMW and purchasing a proper service manuel. Then heading into the service department. Untill then what might this noise be? I tried to show as much useful information in the video.
***Edit***Well hell the video didn't show up.

It sounds like its only coming from the left side. I'm sure it doesn't matter (maybe it does) I pick left or right while sitting on the bike. In my business they pick left or right when looking at the engine fan (just a bit of trivia).

Sure sounds half engine speed to me, meaning valve train. I would just pop off that valve cover, and have a look. If it's a SUPER loose valve, or lost lock nut, it will be obvious to you.

+1. Sounds like a loose valve to me. Easy-peasy ... it'll be fairly obvious which one it is.
