As for the noise, try replacing your timing chain tensioner.
There shouldn't be any fuel lines on the passenger side. Are you talking about the AC lines?

Ticking noise on start up is most likely the hyddralic lifters. try a lighter oil, if its winter time... thats just how these things work.

Mine was doing the same, replace your timing chain tensioner, easiest thing I've done on this car yet, literally took me 10 minutes, and when you do the install, I recommend just uncompressing the cylinder yourself not doing the rev to 4K. As for the lifters making noise, all BMWs do it, but try a lighter oil as mentioned above.1990 S50 goodness.Comment
