Why is my BMW 4 Series engine making a clicking noise?

I recently purchased a 2020 BMW 430i and noticed a strange clicking noise coming from the engine. It only seems to happen when the engine is cold and lasts for a few minutes. Is this a common issue or should I take it to the dealership?

It is possible that the noise is caused by the valve lifters. This can happen if the car has been sitting for a while and the engine oil has settled, causing the lifters to stick. I would recommend bringing it to the dealership for a diagnostic check.

Did you recently change your oil? If so, make sure you are using the manufacturer's recommended oil and not a generic brand. This can sometimes cause engine noise. If not, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and I would advise taking it to a mechanic.

I had a similar issue with my BMW 435i. It turned out to be a faulty fuel injector. I would suggest getting it checked by a certified mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any potential engine damage.
