2012 e91 318d Ticking at idle

Hi there

My car has developed a ticking noise at idle, which is louder when the engine is warm. Car has done 28000miles. Not sure if this is normal!

I have attached a link to the video

Yes, it sounds to me like a metallic ticking noise, and I reckon its getting louder.

Hmm, the consensus does seem to be that something's not quite right. It was taken into a BMW dealer to be looked at, unfortunately I had other commitments so a family member had to take it in. And apparently the mechanic came out had a quick listen and said it all sounded normal. Although I'm not convinced!

Right quick update, Took the car in to an independent who agreed the noise wasn't normal, although they did not think it was timing chain related. A drive belt was changed although unfortunately the noise persists.
