06 X5 clicking/ticking sound
Just completed a 5 hour + road trip and a fairly loud ticking/clicking sound has developed from the top of the passenger side of the engine. Thoughts?

What's loud?
Hear it in the car loud? Hear it when the engine compartment is closed closed loud? Hear it when it's open loud? I have the same engine in my car - and I've been wondering what a normal level of noise should be.

Were you running it hard? My 328i develops a "tapping/clacking" noise after i beat it at the track. I overfill the oil a bit and even then, it still happens from time to time. I leave it running for usually 3-5min and it settles down and goes away. For peace of mind I installed oil temp/pressure gauges that I monitor closely as well. Next time you hear it, see if it settles after a few minutes when you've stopped at idle. And let us know what your oil level was at
