Grinding noise made by engine


It's been happening ever since I started it a couple weeks ago when I took it out of the garage. I haven't driven it too much since I'm afraid to. I noticed that my water pump pulley is loose, not a good sign. Some how I fear that's not the only problem. I started it today and left it to idle a while and the noise got more violent. I can feel vibrations in the clutch. It has a 230i6 and a 3 on tree transmission. Oil is good. I attached a link to a video. Could someone diagnose my problem? https://vimeo.com/m/93073464 Thank you

Maybe remove the drive belts and run it a SHORT time just to see if the noise is there without the belts operating. At least that would narrow down if it's one of the engine accessories making the noise.
