I just had this happen this morning . The car is a 2006 330i with 58,000 miles. It is not CPO but has the Carmax extended warranty that is actually very comprehensive but does not pay diagnostic or teardown costs. Anyway it is 81 degrees here and the car sat for 18 hours, my daughter started it up and it started ticking like crazy. Sounded just like all of the other reports here. I had read this post a few months ago so I have always listened closely for this sound. I drove it around. The block and it went away after 2 minutes. I think I will take a wait and see approach. I have the warranty but will potentially have to pay some costs, it is a known issue so there is not much to diagnose here but since this is the first time it popped up I will wait and see if it progresses at all. I have the warranty for another 5 1/2 years or till 106,000 miles so I have time. I will subscribe to this thread to look for further developments.
