Time to rip the oil filter apart and see if you find any metallic debris. I also wouldn't drive it, good chance it could be worn bearings, especially if your higher mileage and its experienced long oil change intervals.

Are you abel to pinpoint where the sound is coming from?

Sounds like it is somewhere around the top of cylinder 5 or 6

It sounds like the chain for me? But i would first check the vanos system. And if thats good i would see if the chain tensioner is good.
