thanks in advance! i appreciate the responses and views. hopefully i can get to the bottom of this as i absolutely love the drive and aesthetics of this car.

I've had ticking from the VANOS in all of my M62's but have owned 3 cars with N62's (two 4.8iS's and one 08 750i) and none of them ticked at all.
If you are in Tewksbury you aren't to far from 3D in NH. You can tell them Olek recommended you off of the forums and see if they would be willing to take a glance at it for you.
They are some of the most knowledgeable BMW dudes I know. Might be worth the diagnostic price just to get a flat out answer and then you can decide if its something you want to take on yourself or not.
