weird noise coming from engine .. vid attached

Hey all,
Im having an issue with my x1 its a 2014 with a n46b20 engine. The sound starts 4-5 seconds after startup and continues even when warm. It seems to be coming from something near the alternator or maybe even the alternator itself. car has 80.000km on the clock as well.
It is completely random but when the weather is cold outside it happens more often. Sometimes it goes away after 4-5min somtime it doesnt go away, and sometimes it never happens

Ive uploaded the video via youtube and would appreciate your help

Definitely bad. Open oil cap and look down onto timing chain. See if it feels loose. I'd get to a dealer you trust very soon.
