BMW 545i Engine Ticking Noise
To repair it at BMW dealer will cost me about $7000!!!
Is there any chance to fix alot cheaper? or just sell the car as is?
Will it damage the motor?

Does this mean that you never had it fixed?

I looked at your other vids, and saw this one:

with the following description:
This is the same ticking noise I heard in your intake videos.

Yes I fixed it. There is an old tread I made. It was due a bad spark plug.
Any modifications with the intake part II since the last pics?

Here is the car running after the warm up... no cranking/ticking.
