(letting the engine sit and or rev it takes longer and is associated with carbon build up which is damaging to the engine) This goes to all petrol cars in general.
FYI I did not encounter any engine ticking issues in my 1999 M52TU engine (bought new, done 150 000 km) and not aware of serious valve lifter oil starvation issues on the M54 engines. Ticking noises can also originate from your fuel injectors or from the Vanos mechanism, sometimes due to low oil pressure or degraded oil
Stays away as long as you don't keep the car in extended no-start mode for months on end. But if it does return, just takes 3-4 minutes of "bleeding" to resolve the oil flow in that affected lifter. BMW can do a permanent resolve "for an arm & a leg". Have seen/ heard an E90 6 cylinder engine just get worse because the owner didn't perform this simple procedure & also didn't want to take the car in to replace the lifter.

Hi. That's temporary fixed. That's not repaired. I have the same problem as many bmw owners. If you really fix that ticking noise, please share. I will be happy to understand what is the real problem. Thanks friend.
Howdy - yes it's temporarily fixed if the car is not frequently used. When the car is used regularly this procedure will probably only be required to be applied periodically (I guess every couple of years or so). Caused by oil starvation in hydraulic lifter(s) requiring bleeding when ticking is detected during startup - lifter is sucking up air instead of oil. Permanent fix requires removal of the cylinder head & lifter replacement. If the described procedure is not applied at the first signs of ticking, the tick can become permanent which I witnessed, forcing you to remove the cylinder head to replace all the lifters, while the converse is true - attended to early by applying this procedure or periodically as required can allow your engine to go tick-free for almost the rest of it's useful life. I'm guessing BMW engineers were at the edge of the lifter oil circuit specification limits (as they usually are in their component designs - which is why they can extract the last kilowatt out of any of their engines), and with these hydraulic lifters slight deviations in manufacturing tolerances (socket, plunger, body, check ball) account for the oil supply issues. Not catastrophic in the early stages but you don't want your silky smooth BMW V8 or N52 6 cylinder sounding like there's a bag of marbles loose in the engine.
The true way to fix this is putting diesel gasoline with oil 50 /50 and let in idle for 1 hour , then change your oil twice band fixed my issue 2005 655ci
Absolutely brilliant! I did this on my ticking M54 after it had been standing still for a year. Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Winning feeling when that ticking sound disappears...
Ive just done my timing chains and guides on my m62tu and ive got what i think is the same issue. Will report back
Do not rev it like this after idling for a few minutes. Just drive it gently for a few miles and the lifter tick will go away
Thank you man you save my day
One other way is to fill up engine oil to the maximum level..and use thicker oil ..the noise will go away and car runs smoother..
Man I hope to do that I’ll take a video of mine and upload hopefully this will work lol
Thank you!
Now you too have command & control over those hydraulic lifters, Well done !

Nice! Will this work for the E39 M54 engine?

It worked on mine :)
Thank you for this. Do you still have the car? I'm from CPT.

Does IT Stay AWAY after days ore week ore ? Thanks
