My Ride: 2006 BMW 530Xi black, tan leather, auto, nav, comfort seats, sat radio, PDC, cold pkg.
Hi guys,
I have been on this forum for awhile since I ordered my car. My dealer just called me and told me that it's in. A beautifull 530Xi black with tan, auto, nav, sat radio, comfort seats, etc. I went to see my baby and started the car. The car was not prepped yet. I hear a slight valve ticking. Sounds like one valve. The manager said not to worry, the car needs to be prepped and it will be fine. I had many new cars before but never heard a ticking valve on a new engine before. Should I worry? :'(
I'll post some pictures after I p'up my car next Friday

Valve ticking on a I6? I thought only the V8s had that problem. Keep us updated... listen to it when you pick it up.

Congrats!!! No need to worry my friend. My car sounded like a diesel when I picked it up in September 2005 but after a few starts the ticking sound was all gone!
I'm looking forward to see some pics!!

Hopefully that's the issue, but when you go back to take delivery, you might want to take it for a short drive before you sign the paperwork. If it's still noisy, I'd tell them I want it fixed before buying it--or replaced if they can't easily rectify the situation.
The Porsche boxer engine, for example--by virtue of its flat 6 design--is notorious for this. In the past if I hadn't driven one of my Carreras for several weeks, it would sound like a sewing machine for the first 15 minutes of driving. :'(

When a car has sat for a long time without starting (like yours did on the trip from the motherland), the oil has an opportunity to drain well, and it's not uncommon for a lifter, for example, to be noisy until the car has been driven for a short while and the oil has had a chance to thoroughly recirculate.
) , and nomally you need to drive for roughtly 50miles for this to happen, although i had not heard of ticking on 6 cylinder bmw engines

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to ask the service manager to check the noise out before I p'up the car. If it's still there, I will not take the car untill it's fixed. I'll let you know on Friday.

Welcome here!
Congrats!!! No need to worry my friend. My car sounded like a diesel when I picked it up in September 2005 but after a few starts the ticking sound was all gone!
I'm looking forward to see some pics!!
