My Ride: 520i E60
Default my M54 "ticks"...

my engine (M54) ticks

started last saturday. I made oil change about 4-5000 km ago and I used a engine cleaer and flush (that was surely the worst thing I could ever have done).

seems are hydraulic tappets. the strange thing is that noise INCREASES on engine hot...can be other tings than tappets to generate that noise?
I made an oil change with a 5w40 after using an additive, I now have a 5w30 changed as the engined started ticking.

ideas?

Little more to the story from Italy.

"tick" from the engine... - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums

Give it another oil/filter change.

Not saying it's not, just trying to get all that is known out there where we are not reinventing the wheel!

yes, I understand. the beauty thing of frequenting a lot of forum is that sometimes appears a guy with that same noise, that same issue
