They updated the bulletin, they must not want to pay out for any more head replacements as the bulletin now says:
1. Don't perform the "bleeding procedures" (as they didn't last past the next cold start) 2. Don't replace the head, it is no longer going to be authorized. 3. Updated HVA units (lifters for lack of a better term) are available and is the current repair. A few have gone through the shop that have gotten the updated HVA's and it did seem to fix them. When you bring it in for the lifter tap again, mention that you looked up SIB 11 09 07 and think the updated HVA's from the latest bulletin update would fix the problem. Just be prepared to go a few days without the vehicle as they will need to get teileclearing authorization then order parts (next day if before 3pm) then about a day of labor.

I had my dropped off yesterday for the same ticking noise from the engine bay and it was kept over night. I got a called back from the SA this morning that she stated that the engine needed a lifter and the dealer will keep my car until this Thursday at their shop. Does not sound good to my ears when she said that. I will keep you posted once I get my car back, hopefully this coming Thursday.
This is longest time ever that she leaves home. I miss my ride  and luckily, I have a 2009 328i as a loaner.

As I've said, I've replaced numerous heads for that problem... but now they switched from changing heads to changing lifters. So Stevev, you'll have your baby back soon enough, and the problem should be no more!

I noticed this this past weekend in Charlotte. I was in a pharmacy drive through first thing in the morning. The truck had only been running about 5 minutes.
I guess I'll have to take it in to see what they'll do about.

SA just called, it's the lifters, they're on backorder, could be a week, could be 3 weeks. I'm picking the car up this afternoon and have to wait for the parts to come in.

Backorder? I guess I got the last set!
I'm in the middle of that job on an E70 right now, the lifters sitting on top of my tool box all pretty and such...
