Ticking Nose
Yes I heard this noise once since I own this car, since the 2 year factory warranty is about to expire, I have requested they look into this matter and replace the faulty parts accordingly.

Probably not, BMW contracted out all the parts for the third party companies to save costs, so it will never be as good as the old solid bimmer.

David had some rattling issue with his few months old E60 already
You had any rattles so far?

well you better do it quick

I bet they will say they can not fine the part that is wrong and say you better join the extended warranty expire and get you to join the extended warranty

I hope you get it fix before the next meet.

the sound from the engine is like from a belt or some thing.
