I've got a similar problem. My engine too has a ticking sound, not so high pitched, and less frecuent. It only appears after the engine is at normal working temperature, maybe after i pushed it a little bit, too, and it only sounds at idle (maybe i cant distinguish it when reving because of how subtle it is) Engine is a m52b25 with 98.000 *km* very low mileage. I've checked for loose sparkplugs, both accesory and AC belt are new. The car didn't move for a whole year but i flushed it with liqui moly engine oil flush. I only use 5w40 castrol synthetic on it, allthough i'm the 3rd owner. Any ideas what it could be?
Forgot to say, i change oil between 7.500km and 9.000km. When i got the car the engine was running so smooth, at idle it was hard to notice that it was actually running
@@asdasd-mw4qf nope, actually my clutch bearing sounds now so i don't hear the ticking anymore lol. But anyway i don't care about weird noises the car makes now, as long as it runs i'm ok with that
Just years of working on these vehicles and trial and error. I couldn't afford to pay a mechanic for repairs when I got my first car and it became a hobby.
Hello, how would you diagnose a ticking noise, after already checking/changing lifters/coils/spark plugs/chain tensioners/exhaust leaks/injectors ? mine have been ticking for 7y, it seems to come from the top, even though I can find out for sure even with stethoscope, but seems to amplify at the exhaust. This is a video of it without the belts th-cam.com/video/MyfS0qIdP18/w-d-xo.html also last time i checked compression values they were all right.
Hello.. is it happen when engine warm? If yes, i fix with camshaft position sensor replacement.. make sure your camshaft position sensor original by BMW..
Over 4 decades, BMW still can't correct this overpriced repairs on M30 engines. Camshaft worns & needed to be replaced Just like they can't come up with a new badge without falling off after 9 years. Just buy a Honda, Hyundai or a Toyota and you won't have worn camshaft. For a face, you get better re-sales on Asian and German vehicles.
This was so much help bro thank you
Thank you for making this video
Liqui moly engine flush, then flushing new oil (can be cheap) , then filling premium oil and adding liqui moly addictive. Butter

Its call logic thinking and troubleshooting.
