When I start my 335i, no ticking from cold start till about 1.5 min exactly.
If really cold outside, then no ticking for about 4-5 min.
Here is the interesting thing:
After ticking starts, give it like 8-10 more min of idling, have a smoke.
Then ticking stops for like 8 min.
Then starts again.

It might be the build up from the charcoal filter in the back, coming forward towards left side of engine and engine processing it.
Said normal for this car.
I am going to keep search for a understandable answer....lol
