2004 R53 engine ticking loudly with RPM. Help me diagnose? (Video inside)
Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for MINI Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
My guess is its your timing chain tensioner. Mine sounded similar. Not quite as loud as that but that's what it wound up being. Like yours the car drove great no codes at all.
