If its an 04-07, its fairly common for that engine to tick a little. Its very faint, but it is there. If your hearing an overly loud tick, it may be something different. But these engines are known for being rather noisy.

Dont know much about the RRs but on the F4i the CCT is a common prob that sounds like a coffee can full of BBs rattling around.

Does it seem to be dependant on throttle position? My '07 makes a pinging sound in the 2000 to 4000 RPM range when I'm at 30% or more throttle. At very light throttle (once the engine is warmed up) I don't hear it. It drove me insane until I was able to find the cause.
