Valve ticking on my brand new 530Xi

Hi everybody,
Just p'up my new 530Xi in black/tan nav, PDC, comfort seats, sat radio auto.
Last week when the car came in I just wanted to seat inside and start the engine. Well, as I wrote before, I heard a valve clicking noise. I was beside myself. After checking the car before the delivery my dealer (Hassel BMW) found out from BMW USA that the cars built in January may have a leaky exhaust gasket as in mine. They replaced it and the noise went away. We started a couple of other 530's and they also made that clicking noise.
Hassel BMW service was very good about it and found the problem.
Anyway, I'm so happy with the car, it rides and drives great. I always come back to BMW.

SRMS1, ask your salesman to tell service to check for exhaust manifold leaks when they are prep. the car. It sounds like a valve clicking.
