here in Italy we had issues with 30i,early poroduction....
ticking noise from cold then after 3-4 minutes the engine was really quiet.BMW stated it was not something horrible, just a comfort reduction problem.....
my car after 4900kms has still that ticking noise, but it last 2 minute when wheather is really cold....
anyway at next inspection they told me they will upgrade software that will increase oil pressure when cold.
some people went to dealer and this upgrade solved the problem, before this dealer didn't know what to do, someone changed distribution, a guy from rome had a brand new engine, and after some miles I was told the ticking noise was still there....
No recall as there are no risk or big problem, only ticking noise....
