its a 6-cylinder bmw, of course its the valve cover gasket.
Vanos makes noise, when you have the valve cover off pull it, clean it, put it back and start using some real oil, 15w40 Rotella.
BMWs are infamous for rear bushings and rear sheetmetal failures. Could be either or... Lift back end, take a look at all the suspension, pull interior out in rear to take a look at shock tower mounts to make sure they are in good condition.
Your really having someone change out the coolant for you? Come on, get those brass balls back on and try again, use what oyu learned last time.
ATF flush, dont do it, ive heard very bad things flushing out really old atf fluid. AKA= new fluid consistency flushes out shit and then clogs that old shit in places where you could induce a transmission failure.
