Lifter replacement fixed the ticking in our '08 328xi for several months, but it is back. The cylinder head gets replaced in a few weeks, thankfully under warranty.

Some have had the noise come back even with a new head. Then its time to think about a buy back. Or... just live with the noise.

If the ticking comes back after the head is replaced I will be really worried about diminished value on trade-in. The N51 in my 128i is nice and quiet.
