Why is my 2007 BMW 328i making a ticking noise?
My 2007 BMW 328i has recently started ticking after the engine is turned on and it sounds like it is coming from somewhere under the hood. I’m not very car-savvy but this seems like something I should be concerned about—why is my 2007 BMW 328i making a ticking noise?

A ticking noise coming from underneath the hood is a fairly common problem for the 2007 BMW 328i and is usually caused by one of the following:
- Low engine oil
- An exhaust manifold leak
- Bad oil pump
- Loose valve lifter
In the best case scenario, all you’re dealing with is low engine oil—to find out, simply use a dipstick to check the oil level and add a quart if necessary.
If your oil level is fine and the ticking persists, you’ll want to visit a mechanic and have them diagnose the issue for you, as the problem is likely something more serious.
Replacing a valve filter or exhaust manifold can be expensive, but your
