I could have sworn this particular ticking noise was already diagnosed as the heat shields expanding or tapping against under body parts. I listened to all the videos in the previous post and I can tell you with out a doubt, I have the very same inconsistent clicking "Rod bearing noise". Here's the thing, that noise was going on when I got my car at 27k and is still going on at 61k. At 55k I had my rod bearings changed out with BE Bearings and my old ones showed no signs of excessive wear or impending failure. When I picked up my M3(27K) all I used was Castrol TWS 10W60 and also filled her up with it when the bearings where done. I have recently just changed oil to Liqui Moly 10W60 and wouldn't you know it that noise... still there. I'm pretty positive the people saying its the different oil causing the noise are experiencing the Placebo Effect lol. It's the heat shields people, stop driving you self mad and enjoy your car.
