Could you please share more on which parts caused the metal shavings, what components in addition to the oil pump were changed out (you referred to "upper part")? Thanks!!! I'd have big concerns about engine life if they didn't replace everything...at least demanding an extended warranty. |

Without more info, i wouldn't freak out peeps
If BMW had this car up on a lift and used a stethoscope to confirm a knocking from the bottom end, that is far different than "I opened my hood and heard a ticking" I'm still suspicious of them just replacing the engine without further diagnostic. |

Guys,
I got a new m4 a month back and have driven it 800 miles, while driving this past weekend on the freeway a metal piece from the car in front of me flew and hit the underhood of my car. Immediately the oil started leaking and got a drive train malfunction error on my car and it stopped. The car was taken to the dealership and now the dealer says that they need to replace the oil gasket and the engine. How long will this process take and when would they return my car. Such things are not covered by BMW warranty and hence I needed to use my insurance. BMW has quoted 36000 dollars for the parts and labor. There is no exterior damage |

The amount of time it takes is going to be dependent on how quickly your insurance can process the claim and cut a check to BMW. Once they get paid and have the motor, it shouldn't take much longer than a week or 2. |

Mine makes some loud ticking on cold start - exactly same situation as you. Here's a video:

One of the noises in there is normal, the higher pitched quicker tick; the slower heavier sounding one is absent in both f8x in my garage. I'd take it in to dealer for diagnosis.

As you can tell from my video, the ticking was very obvious. But now it has been resolved completely....so far. 2016 M4 with 13,500 kms - Feb 2016 Build

My story. The car is from august 2015 (MY16) and I think I first noticed this sound around 20.000-25.000km. Very noticeable on a cold start in an underground parking, the ticking sound just bounces off the walls into the cabin. To my ears... it's too loud to be normal. Even after warming up still noticeable, albeit to lesser extent.

Interesting... all 2016's. Curious on exact build dates to see if it was after the minor hardware change in January.
