Good question, has the ticking returned for any one with a Head replacement?

and I have normal ticking for the 2006 325xi series motor I was told now, from 2 dealers in my area. and they did both say NO damage will come of this it is just ANNOYING.

Hi all! I'm happy to report I am still tick free after my head replacement at 12,000 miles. The car now has 20,000 miles on it and hasn't ticked one single time. Lots of short trips, too. I say it's fixed for good.

That is great news, now to get the bmw dealerships to agree to SKIP the HVA swap and just do the Head Swap 1st.

Finally got my car back yesterday after 7 days at the dealership to fix the Cylinder Head. All I can say is WOW. I saw the actual billed invoice price for this change out $7,140 bucks. Glad I had this done before my factory warranty runs up in the next 60 days.

Yeah, that was almost 1/3 of my cars value. lol. Glad I did. Car seems to run smoother too, but that could also be since they put all new oil in it at the same time. I would highly recommend anyone with the ticking sound get this down before your warranty is up.

They won't just replace the head without being able to hear it unfortunately . There was an SIB about there not being enough oil in the car and causing the ticking so that's probably the first step they took on your car.

unfortunately the tick came back one month after the lifters were replaced. I brought it back and they said the sound was normal i will be bringing it in for the vehicle inspection and oil change next week. If they say they cannot reproduce the sound like they did last time, what should i do? How should i tell them to replace the head

Well, what sucks is -- it's a lease. It goes back June 21 -- my last month of being with her has been spent in hospital. I've paid for a month lease of not having my car- I'm taking it up with BMW N.A.

Oh wow, they should have just taken the car back and scrapped it instead of putting all that money into a lease that's over in less than a month.. Do you at least have a BMW rental??

I ordered a 2011 328i. Has the N52 been updated at all since these problems started? What can I do to avoid the ticking?

Yea, I believe the issue has been corrected. As far as I know, you personally can't do anything to avoid it.
