What could be causing my 2006 BMW 325i engine ticking noise?
My car has been making a weird ticking noise recently. It’s freaking me out! What could be causing my 2006 BMW 325i engine ticking noise?

The most common reason for a 2006 BMW 325i engine ticking noise is low oil, but it could also be a faulty lifter or bad oil pump.
Start by filling up your oil or getting a complete oil change. If the mysterious ticking noise persists, it may be a defective lifter. The cost to correct a loose lifter is much more affordable than the cost to fix a seized engine—so don’t delay booking your repair appointment!
Now might be a good time to consider whether you’re happy with your
car insurance
policy. The free Jerry
app can help you compare rates for your BMW, or add new coverage like roadside assistance. View full answer
