Ticking at idle

[carbonx5m]

My X5M ticks at idle more significantly when cold. Seems to be getting slightly louder over time (now have 4000 miles), but has been there since day one. If I increase rpms it goes away. I suspect it's injectors, but wonder if anyone else noticed this?

Yep mine does the same thing. I never noticed it, maybe because I'm always on the car when it's running and I can't hear it.

But people have pointed it out to me. I took it to the dealer and to have them look at it all I got was the very common response "can't duplicate the problem".

I had a X3 Msport that made the same noise BTW. The dealer told me it was "normal" but didn't tell me why or what was making the noise.

I have the same. I will ask tomorrow when I am at the shop.
