My cylinder head was replaced due to the ticking sound coming from the lifters. You are not alone on this:

my friend is a was a tech at durham bmw and he has done about 45+ cylinder head replacements. He said they all have the ticking sound but they are fine by all means. apparently that dealership is no longer replacing heads. Either way he said that there was never a performance issue with them just a noise.
