I'd be embarrassed if my car did that. Afraid everyone is thinking my car is broken and I can't maintain it cause I'm broke or dumb. So if it's not normal but doesn't do harm, I'd still want it fixed.

I heard this for the first time today - my car had not been driven for a week. I won't be happy if this continues, especially while its under warranty! Other thread hinted at possibly being a fuel pump issue or even ASD related - does anyone even know at this point?

There's a thread on the m3/4 section with this. The few that got their dealer to fix it got a new valvetronic motor. One guy said it came back 3 weeks later. Many just ignore it too... Probably the owners that lease ignore lol

Probably worth mentioning to the dealer, i would definitely push for a replacement if there was a redesigned part in the future?

When they were trouble shooting my car, mine had no codes and they tested the valvetronic motor and everything passed.... But still randomly ticks at me. I tend to bring it back in for round 2 eventually. |

WTF? Dude...if you work for ASIS (the Australian version of the US CIA for the lesser informed)...DON'T START YOUR CAR!...or...load up on life insurance and get your wife to start it.
More seriously...there is no way that is "normal"...I would insist on dealer replacing whatever part is making that noise. Something that loud and obvious, there is no way they "don't know what it is." P.S. Just thinking that "ASIS" is awfully close to another organization...you guys might want change that. |

Sometimes mine does it and sometimes not...... last night when I was doing some more Bimmercode coding and trying to get the BM3 up and running it did it all the time the car was on. That would be for hrs.... sometimes really loud and sometime not so much

Sounds kinda familiar...
In all seriousness I'd take it to a dealer and show them the video as well. |

Mine ticked for the first time yesterday - or at least it was the first time I noticed it.
