That is why you should drive with 2 hands <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The tic-tic sound you heard in the morning, is most likely due to lifter noise. Most BMW engine, including mine, and also Mitsubishi and Mazda, tend to have this problem. A primary cause of HLA (Hydraulic Lift Adjuster) noise is the result of oil drain back to the crankcase during long periods of storage. Nothing serious as long as the noise goes away after few minutes of idle, or short drive.For me, the noise went away after 2-5 seconds of startup. If that bothers you, try "thicker" oil, of different brand.</blockquote>
