Kewl,
Try posting a video -- I don't know if the audio will be good enough to detect ticking, but it's worth a try. There are bound to be some discerning ears on this forum who might pick it up.
Regarding spending $1200 for half the cost of the fix, I personally don't have strong opinion either way. My main thought is that it's the company's fault -- and to blow off a loud tick as "it goes away and doesn't cause any harm" is just plain indicative that BMW leadership does not care that the perception is that their engine sound like cheap Suzukis. They have confidence in the ignorance and blind loyalty of people addicted to the Name, as opposed to actual quality?
Maybe the days of having a smooth and quiet engine are no longer important to them.
