i've got the same problem and it's been diagnosed to be the tensioner damper. i'm purchasing a new tensioner, polyurethane damper bushings, belt, and a tensioner stop. bah goodbye $200 in parts and probably more in labor.

My BMW Mechanic reckons my belt tensioner assembly (is that what you mean by tensioner damper) is OK. It is not making any noises at all. But thanks, It gives me something else to look at also.
