Why is my BMW X4's engine making a loud tapping noise?

I recently purchased a BMW X4 and noticed that the engine is making a loud tapping noise. It seems to be coming from the top of the engine and gets louder when I accelerate. Is this a common issue with the X4? What could be causing this noise and is it something I should be concerned about?

The loud tapping noise you are hearing could be from a faulty lifter in your engine. This is a common issue with BMW X4s and can be caused by wear and tear or using low-quality oil. I recommend bringing your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

Another possible cause for the tapping noise could be a loose or damaged rocker arm. This can also be a common issue with BMW X4s. I suggest having the rocker arm checked and replaced if needed by a reliable mechanic.

In some cases, the tapping noise can be caused by a dirty engine. Make sure to regularly clean and maintain your BMW X4's engine to avoid any potential issues. If the noise persists, it is best to have it checked by a professional.
