Yeah. What you're hearing in the 135i most likely isn't lifter noise (which can be bad) but ijector noise. There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about how to make direct injection engines quiet. It's not easy from what I've read, because of the high pressures. People don't want their cars to sound like diesels no matter how good they run, but that's exactly what DI sounds like.
