I thought it is suppose to be done by this afternoon, but the SA called back and said that it will not be ready until tomorrow, Friday. She said the tech. does not want to rush on this big job. Hopefully, I will get my baby back by tomorrow. This is the first time that my car was in the shop for four days...luckily all the works are done under factory warranty . I hope they will fix that problem.

I have the same noise but comes quite infrequently and goes away, the repair seems to be a long day with a lot of manipulation. My question is:

What happens if you ignore the noise (since it goes away after 3 minutes and may not come back for a couple of months) and keep driving it. Is it gonna affect engine reliability in the future????

With the camshaft/valvetrain being a roller bearing setup I've yet to see any problems caused by the tapping sound. (other than annoyance)

Your case is a very mild one with it going away in minutes and coming back after months, so you can have no worries if you do choose to ignore it, but may want to get it taken care of while under warranty.

Thank you very much for your help. I wish the guys at M3post will be as supportive as people in this forum.

I got my car back last night after four days. The ticking noise sound from the engine bay seem to be vanished . I started the enginine it let it running for abt. 5 minutes and could not here anything. As the matter of fact, I noticed that the engine sound seem to be very very quite when I was standing a few feet away.

Here is what they have done:

Customer states there is a ticking noise in engine area mostly at cold start.

Cause: Hydraulic valve adjusters noisey.

Performed: as per SIB 11 09 07, replaced exhaust camshaft hydraulic valve lifter (HVA), adjusted camshaft, vanos timing, and performed bleeding procedure when finished.

Part replaced"
12 11 33 7 605 330, hydraulic valve pushrod: 113065
1 11 12 7 582 245, profile gasket: 118522
1 11 36 7 524 954, collar screw: 113095
1 11 31 7 534 251, gasket ring: 118523

I hope this information helps!!!

Yep, I just finished the exact same job on an E70 3.0i and it was 100% quiet after. The updated HVA valve adjusters seem to do the trick quite nicely. My only complaint is that BMW has reduced the warranty pay labor amount so the whole job only pays 5.3 hours... damn economy!

I don't own the 3.0L but just wondering, do they simply change the valve adjusters (the rockers on top)? What is this bleeding process? priming oil into the area ??

I think the only requirement of stealership SA's is to say that "it's normal" by default. If you can say that everytime, you've got a job.

We change the HVA's on just the exhaust side, and they self prime as soon as you crank the engine. We change all 12 of #8 in this link on the exhaust cam side of the head.
