New to E63..is this ticking noise from engine bay normal? It's pretty loud and I think it is coming from this component (no idea what it is) on the driver side. When I touch it, it vibrates as same frequency as the sound. See attached video.

Thank you! I did a search but didn't find that post. Seems like some people on that post are saying it's normal, some saying dealership replaces the actuator, and another saying it just went away. So should I just take it to the dealer and have them decide what to do?

Mine you can hear while in the car with the windows up, so kind of annoying
