n52 LCI and preLCI Cylinder head/internals the same?
I've got a guy looking to sell a cylinder head off an 07 and an 08 328i for my future projects of messing around. Are these the same as the ones on my LCI 328i? Looking at realoem it seems it is, but when looking online, most everyone is grouping them as 06-08 and 09-11 cylinder heads. Thanks in advance.

(someone correct me, trying to quote my indy, but it has been awhile...)
Newer heads should have an improved valvetronic assembly that eliminated the common lifter tick. Or something to that effect... really can't remember the name of the component(s) or if there are any other real differences. plastic vcg compared to me, for sure. (I have magnesium... 06 330i). Might be more stuff to it, though!

So hypothetically if one was to go with a solid lifter setup without valvetronic would that matter?

My July 2008 head will tick super loud if I take a few short, cold trips.
