The ticking sound is most likely caused by a faulty valve lifter. This is a common issue in the BMW 1 Series and can be easily fixed by replacing the valve lifter. It is recommended to take your car to a certified mechanic to get it checked out and fixed.

The ticking sound can also be caused by low oil levels. Make sure to check your oil regularly and top it off if needed. However, if the ticking continues even after adding oil, it is best to take your car to a mechanic for further diagnosis.

If the ticking sound is accompanied by a lack of power or unusual vibrations, it could be a sign of a more serious engine issue. It is best to get your car checked by a professional as soon as possible.
