Crazy loud screeching coming from engine bay

Hi All,

Anyone have the following symptoms on their BMW X3 N55 engines? Will replacing the valve cover resolve this issue?

1. Intermittent issue, some days I have no issues at all.

2. When I do have this issue, as long as I keep pressing the gas pedal and the vehicle is in motion, no screeching sound, as soon as I release the gas pedal, the sound returns.

3.Very loud sound, can be heard from a far distance (pedestrians always turn around with a WTF look on their face, &#128514.

4. When coming to a stop, the idle sounds rough, almost like engine will stall.
