Did you ever get to the bottom of your engine problem?

How is everyone's cars now??
I have a unique experience to offer... I had this tick.. tick....... tick back in 2016 at 27k miles. Took it to two different BMW dealerships - the first one said it was normal, the second had BMW engineers to the dealership who then recommended a full engine replacement. Lucky for me the car was still under its original warranty. Never gave a full explanation as to why, I assumed it was rod bearings but after reading everything here I doubt it. Fast forward to today, I'm at 70k, 43k on the new engine and the infamous intermittent tick is back! Wild that we still haven't gotten to the bottom of this - will try a few things and be sure to actually post back here... |

Spirited driving was performed at lower speeds < 70mph getting up to redline ~3-4 times, also noted that the oil temperature was a bit above 210F afterward. Would be great if someone could reproduce this so we could finally end the ticksteria Edit: the tick I am referring to is this variety Last edited by smorton; 04-06-2024 at 10:53 AM.. Reason: Clarified which tick type I am referring to |

I can't believe people are still talking about lifter tick in a bmw engine.
Drive your car how it was supposed to be driven and forget about it.

Italian tune up will likely clear it!
Btw the intermittent clacking heard in the video posted by smorton is lifter noise.

People aren’t allowed to be concerned about a new noise coming from their engine? If it wasn’t for so many people talking about it on this forum, a lot of owners would be burning money on diagnostic fees and “possible” fixes

Agreed, and it's not normal for lifters to make that noise, even if it isn't harmful.

I worked at the service department of a BMW dealership about 12 years ago, when the e9X platform was being sold as new. The lifter tick is normal. It's not harmful and there is no fix for it other than driving the car hard for a bit AKA the Italian tune-up.
Edit: I guess "normal" isn't quite the right word. But it's common. One of the techs explained it to me. Something about a vacuum pocket created on the lifter when the oil drains out completely. Needs higher RPM to "force" the air pocket out. I can totally understand hearing it for the first time and being concerned. I was too.
