Good morning buddy, hope you're well and a happy new year to you.
Did you get any further with this issue on your bike?
Was a new cam chain tensioner and guide fitted resolving the issue?
No I haven't had the bike in since I last spoke to them. I will be raising the question at service time.
My bike will be 3 in September so want this sorted under warranty.
I had actually raised the noise (not specifically tapping) prior to its first annual service.

My 2019 1250 pinks under load 2 up.Tried two different dealers and they are just not interested.Persued it numerous times and took it up with BMW UK.Waste of breath.Looking for alternative bikes but apart from the pinking,its perfect for me.
Just out of interest, what fuel do you primarily use in the bike?
Have experimented with different fuels.Mostly use Shell VPower.But it pinks on all octane ratings.
You think going from zero noise to sounding like a machine gun in 80 miles did he say, is from Microscopic particles? Don'd think so, its through the hard surface and that will be coming off in bigger bits than just sludge.
Mine did the same, from nothing much to machine gun in 150 miles. Had the cams done, 12m on and a new engine.
Also over that time the gearbox became rough as the 'bits' got into the small roller bearings in there.
I'd not be accepting cams as the fix.
2000 miles in and now ticking!

Sorry to burst your bubble but the CTA3s “sing” too
They do indeed. Great rubber but like most brands, they do make a noise.
You would hear this LHS ‘cylinder ticking’ noise at idle while the bike is stationary.
Have you spoken with your BMW dealer regarding this yet?
I was told in mid-January that parts would take a ‘couple of months’ to come in as per the PUMA reference for this known issue (dealer was surprised I knew more about it than them when I took it in initially).
They also acknowledged that it would be fine for me to continue to use the bike in the meantime as I specifically enquired regarding this for the record.
Still waiting for the call.
