Ticking noise after long drive

mad4comp · 05-01-2018, 05:34 PM

Just noticed this after a long drive today and then parking it (about a 40 minute drive home from work). Anybody else get this ticking noise? Is it normal?

Sounds like some water dripping in the exhaust and fizzling away or maybe hot metal cooling down?

Could also be your brakes as the cool down.

Clicking sound comes from the brakes cooling down or may be exhaust.

Yea I'm not too worried, but didn't happen in my 335i or my m4... or maybe it wasnt loud enough to be noticeable. Still quite weird. Thanks for the responses guys.
