I have noticed that about 1 out of every 3 cold starts, I can hear the lifters tick for about 2 or 3 seconds and then stop (I'm assuming after the oil gets to them) The car has pretty low miles on it (~34,000) does anyone know a cause and or a fix for this? I had a DSM for years that did it all the time and it never hurt anything, but this is my first BMW, so I dont know if it will. I changed the oil about 1500 miles ago. Thanks in advance for your guys help!
