2009 S63 Engine Lifter Ticking...

Its sad to say that I have had my car to the dealer twice in the last two months (for a total of 5 weeks) to have this ticking sound addressed. First they did the left side camshafts and lifters, and then two weeks later, they did the right side camshafts and lifters. Now a week later, there is that distinct ticking sound when idling AGAIN from the left side of the engine once again...

I've heard that there were 3 service bulletins and the class action lawsuit that had been started by "63" owners was dropped due to all of them having the issue develop AFTER the warranty had expired. This was the reason that the lawsuit was marked defective in New Jersey, and subsequently dismissed. Now what do I do since my vehicle is still under base warranty and they have tried to repair this issue by replacing camshafts and lifters on both sides of the engine... any suggestions?
