I know you also mentioned you are not afraid of owning a BMW, but if you have to ask, chances are you dont realize the the noise may be the least of your concerns on this car...
A shop/ dealership, will charge you around 4-20k to fix the entire mess the right way.
Try this water bottle method, spray some water on the pulley to see, if the squeak/chrip goes away and get back to us. You don't need to remove any plastics or parts, you should see the exposed pulley from the driver's side of the engine bay.

Dealer offered almost $20k for the trade-in. Guess they didn't notice any of the issues under the hood, lol.
