What I don't understand is why this problem happens on the 08 and up models.

The sound I was getting (ticking) sounds like this: Ticking

Replacing the cylinder head is the last resort that BMW will use. There is a bleeding cycle first if that does not work then its the replacement of the lifters. After that you will then have to be persistent to get the head replaced.

Hope its nothing too serious with your car.
How much down time with your car did you experience?
