About had it. Help me figure this out! (update)
Started after the car set for awhile and got it in a day and a half later to it making this sound.
Sounds like its coming more from the passenger side. and in the back.
As in the other thread someone said adjust the RR and go from there. I did that with no change in the sound. So after that i went for Lifter. i replaced all the lifters on the passenger side. (broke and all the money i had). And now idk wtf it could be! Someone suggested a sticking valve.. but if that was the case wouldn't it not open and bend the pushrod?
Should i try changing the cam out? Could it be a spun bearing or something? Or maybe something to do with the clutch and the fly wheel?
There is a sound clip below. Please listen to it and give me more input!!
This thing is driving me nuts and i want my car back!

Something around the flywheel? Maybe pressure plate bolts or torque converter bolts backing out? Does not sound like a bearing to me. A bearing is more of a deep knocking sound. This sounds is metal banging metal IMHO.
Not valve train, the sound is too fast at idle. Remeber if it was valve train it would be half the speed of the crank.

So maybe i should look at the throw out bearing or something?? Also it didnt go away when i pushed in the clutch so i didnt thing it was.
but then again it speeds up when the car is in N and the engine is reved.

Is there an inspection plate on the M6 cars like on the A4's? I agree it sounds like something related to flywheel. Also, you could try the "long 1/2" drive extension stethoscope" trick. Get a minimum 18" long 1/2" drive extension, place one end against your ear, and carefully place it against various places of the engine. Take care for moving parts, voltage sources, etc. The location of the noise will be pretty easy to at least narrow down. Also, jack the car up and listen from under the car while it's running. Be safe, use stands, and don't lay under the car while it's running

I have the valve covers off and everything looked fine.
