The noise the OP and I had is of a strange valve ticking type noise randomly coming from under the hood. I posted a YouTube video of my personal car making the noise. Coincidentally, I don't think my car has made the noise since I posted the video. I believe it may have happened a total of 4-5 times. Doesn't seem like there is much of a consensus as to what it is or if it is even harmful. @Chrisar82 mentioned something about changing heads, but he has a 128i, not a 135i or 1M.

The other noise that bebo-valdez brought up was the common dual-mass flywheel rattle noise that goes away with the press of the clutch. This is a well known noise that affects many cars with dual-mass flywheels.

Did you ever fix the valve ticking? I have the same noise

heres mine in a youtube vid i posted https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lrlXIB5LQK0
