Why is the engine making a strange noise in my BMW X1?

I've noticed a strange noise coming from the engine of my BMW X1. It's not very loud, but I'm worried it may be a sign of a larger issue. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

The most common cause of engine noise in a BMW X1 is worn out engine mounts. It's important to have them replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your engine.

Another possible cause could be an issue with the timing chain tensioner. This is a more serious problem and should be addressed by a trained mechanic.
