The ticking noise you are hearing is most likely the result of normal engine operation. BMW's are known for their performance and this can sometimes come with a bit of engine noise. However, if the noise is excessively loud or you notice any decrease in performance, it would be best to have the vehicle checked by a certified mechanic.

I've also noticed this ticking noise in my BMW 4 Series. After doing some research, it seems to be a common issue among 4 Series owners. As long as the noise isn't accompanied by any other symptoms, it's most likely nothing to worry about. However, if the noise does get louder or you experience any problems, it's always best to take it to a professional for further inspection.

I've been a BMW mechanic for over 10 years and I can assure you that a slight ticking noise is perfectly normal for this car. It's just the sound of the valves opening and closing. However, if you'd like some peace of mind, you can always bring it by my shop for a quick check-up.
