Why does my BMW M4's engine make a ticking sound?

I recently noticed a ticking sound coming from my BMW M4's engine. It only happens at idle and goes away when I start driving. Is this normal or should I be worried?

It is not normal for your BMW M4's engine to make ticking sounds at idle. It could be a sign of a more serious issue such as a worn out camshaft or lifters. I would recommend taking your car to a certified BMW mechanic for a thorough inspection.
