The Dinan warranty is only in effect while the factory warranty is in effect. CPO doesn't count.

OP, Definitely strip it down to stock and bring it in. Hopefully BMW steps in with some goodwill.

I'm certainly going to pop my hood and listen closely. Isn't a certain amount of "tick" normal? I'll post a video for reference.

That's normal. When the tick is louder than every other engine noise, then there's a problem. You'll definitely notice it.
Thank you! This thread definitely got me paranoid. The mic on the phone definitely picks up more sounds than I noticed while taking it.
