The noise at 4:05 is exactly like I have on my E39 520 (M54 2.2). Also, the viscous fan coupling bearing is gone. Thank you for the great video explaining. Makes it very easy to diagnose

Ok idler and tensioner pullies have been noted, thank you. What about the crank pulley or that other pulley above it? Should I be worried about them?
