The ticking sound could be caused by a few different factors, such as low oil pressure, worn out lifters, or a loose exhaust manifold. It's best to have a mechanic take a look to pinpoint the exact cause.

It's not uncommon for BMW 3 Series engines to make a ticking sound at startup. This is usually due to hydraulic lifters adjusting to changes in oil pressure. However, if the ticking persists or becomes louder, it's best to get it checked out by a professional.
