But sometimes even when it is warmed up and full of oil with my window down I can hear the slightest ticking noise. But maybe thats due to the overhead design?

Thanks
I wouldn't worry then. I drove my '89 325i like this for 250,000 miles before trading it in. It never had engine issues despite its ticking.

In the video above, you can hear a distinct, every sixth fire, loud tick amongst the normal ticking. That particular issue is fixed with the new head (or HVA fix these days).
