It would seem to me that those of us that recognize the ticking the most are the ones who aren't driving at high rpms for a long time (which quiets the ticking). The problem could be in every e90, but only a few of us don't drive on the interstates regularly. Just a thought...
This post is from page 27, I'm still going through this crazy thread.

In my case, the car is only used for short, in-town, errands. Which apparently creates a low rpm oiling issue in the cylinder head.
