When im driving its smooth, however, when i return to idle, the ticking is back...Is there a specific SIB for this ? Or any other advice to tell the dealer?
I understand what you are saying. Do u still hear the ticking after driving for lets say 30mins? Or do you hear it at cold start. My ticking comes up after 3 to mins of cold start and stays on for 10 to 15 minutes and then disappears.

I dont think there is an SIB number for 335i's. I took mine to the dealer and they said its normal. The SIB listed here is NOT for N54 engines which we have.
