This, just showed the TSB to my service advisor and he said considering a S drive doesn't have a front diff he doesn't think it'll fix the issue since this noise is present on both S/X drives.

A dealership should be able to find and fix the issue. We had our X Drive X5 for weeks for noises at the dealership. The dealership couldn't find the issue and opened a PUMA case and this was the solution for our issue. The first time the vehicle was returned and my wife was told the water bottle in the trunk made this noise, so I don't trust any SA anymore. After recording the noise we dropped the vehicle again off for additional 3 weeks. The TSB helped with our ticking so far. |

I have similar issue with my 2016 X5 with 60K on it, Ticking/ Knocking noise while accelerating under load ONLY, so we lift up the car and left foot on light brake and right foot on accelerating and my friend/tech found out the sound is coming near the block area, not from turbo or the wastegate. we will drop the Pan this Sunday and inspect/replace the Rod Bearing, will keep you guys posted

I'm hoping it's fixable, whatever it is. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me, is why it seems to have been brought up only in the last few years, and not before. I have a 2016 35i and took it to my local dealer a few months ago - after looking it over for 30 minutes, putting it up on the lift, and taking it for a drive, the tech said the noise was coming from a spare lug nut I keep in my glovebox...I left and didn't want to argue. The tech did a lot of testing, and said the car is functioning as normal. |

With xhp it will stay in gear just a little longer and change down earlier. The engine doesn't bog down and makes it nicer to drive - and I'm sure it's better for the engine. (Also, changed to using Shell Helix Ultra X 5w-30 and that also helped a lot). |

Back to the topic, that's important (from my POV) that the sound is only present at warm/hot engine, but no on cold. I've tried many times to get it on cold with no result. The car has to be fully warm up to produce the noise. Based on this, I still think it's something related to turbocharger, catalytic converter or front part of exhaust pipe, not the engine itself. But who knows... At least one of us have got rid of the sound by replacing the exhaust (I mean this guy ). |

Found a thread where people face the similar issue on B58 engine (symptoms are very similar): https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1658133
The noise had gone after replacing the turbocharger and his serviceman said it was caused by wastegate valve. |

So after having my second visit to bmw with the same issue i've been told that the problems is with the struts, they have to be replaced and the cost for that is $4800. Interesting that during my first visit to a different bmw service, they told me the noise is an acoustic sound reverberating from the oil pump up to the valve train under load. Who to believe I don't know.

New to forum but wanted to chime in that mine also does the “ticking” under load at low rpms “bogged” down. My motor is new with under 20k miles after BMW replaced it under warranty after some ticking developed after a night of “spirited” driving ( like 5 mins of having fun vs a friends 400hp ST explorer) … motor had 45k miles at that point.
I took it to dealership and they said it’s a known problem of waste gate rattle… Turbo was not replaced with new motor. |

My wife’s 2014 n55 sdrive with 89k miles makes the exact same ticking noise on initial acceleration, only apparent when windows open and driving next to a car/fence/wall. To the point where I had to reread the OP to double check that it wasn’t an old thread I had created.
The strange thing is, I feel like this sound has come and gone several times in the 5 years we have owned the x5. To add another piece to the puzzle, the most recent time it became apparent was immediately after picking it up from an oil change, where it definitely wasn’t making the sound before. It has since become much less noticeable in the month or so since… |

I agree! Mine has disappeared now, not sure how. BMW changes my oil every 10k so nothing new there. I did Run some fuel injector cleaner about 5-8k miles ago and noted my engine was quite when standing outside and I don’t hear injector tick when at drive through… but tick was same as above… could roll down window and drive by a building, lug engine slightly and boom loud ticking heard … gone for now
Or bmw tightened up something that was found loose….. |

Well, I've both front bearings replaced a few months ago. It has definitely nothing to do with that noise. |
