My Ride: 2005 545i steptronic Silver Gray on Black, fully loaded, smoked rear lights, colored roundels, B&B exhaust, K&N airfilter, 20" Beyern Mesh Black powder coat, umnitza blue angel eyes.
My car makes a weird ticking sound from the front of the car. I've tooken it to the dealer but the tech can't hear it, saying the exhaust is too loud, but I hear it just fine.
Whats the noise from? and is it covered by the dealership?

On 04 545 I had ticking from front right side of engine compartment. Turned out there was an SIB on the AC compressor pulley. Dealer replaced compressor under warranty and the ticking is gone. Check it out.
