If it doesnt come with the new engine, they didnt change it. They only replaced fanbelts and airfilter... And it was my local BMW dealer that did it.

I just checked with the previous owner, he had software done before, but says it was taken back to standard(he didnt sound too convincing) lets say it still has diffirent software than std, could it lead to a problem like this?

Its hard to explain but it sounds like the noise the cams make if it ran without oil and its also coming from the top of the motor.
