Some of you should try that first instead going through the whole lifter replacement process just for it to return again.

I'm due for an oil change, and am also experiencing the same noise. Only had my 2007 e90 2.5L (323i - Canadian model) for a few months.
Can anyone comment on the above post, whether or not this could remedy the issue? Any other conerns with switching to Mobil 1 Synthetic? Normally I'd want to stick with OEM fluids (even if not getting it done at the dealer), but could this be the holy grail to resolve the noise?
