Yours may be normal ticking if it's not too loud. Is it like really loud?
I had the same concerns -- would BMW screw up my great car? They did a fine job on mine though...was out of my hands for a week but it's been great since. No issues. Purrs like a kitten.
Mr. Dummy I see why you're on the fence here.... Do have them check it and see if they think it's the same issue we're talking about. The big question I have for you, though, is this -- is it really loud ticking? There's a difference between normal sounds and this obvious clang clang clang.

I WISH there was an audible sound byte on youtube or somewhere that would let me here a NORMAL ticking sound and an ABNORMAL one?
I can hear it at drivethru windows with windows down bouncing off the walls, and when its cold I can hear it from about 5-6 feet away with hood down walking up to the car? Is that normal?
Does any one have a sound byte of NORMAL ticking by any chance?
