Not my Z but my mate sent this to me.

Doesn't sound like the hydraulic lifter value to me. Seems to be a secondary noise.

Someone please advise! :thumbsup:

To me this sounds exactly like my Z did a couple days back and that was the hydraulic lifters. Difficult to tell for sure though from a video...
 
Sounds like the infamous but completely normal N52 tick.

The BMW official procedure for this is to rev the engine for 3 minutes at 3000 RPM, if that doesn't work do it for longer :cry: (Seriously !!)
 
Okay no worries,

Mine used to do it but I flushed the engine and treated it with Lifter Valve treatment and that fixed it! :driving:

It just seems to me that this sounds different.... I must be wrong :thumbsup: :tumbleweed:
