Hi, I took the 325i into work today, noticed after parking it idled a little lower than normal and sounded a bit "chuggy", definately not the smooth idle it normally is. I Popped the bonnet and the back of the cylinder head had a rythmic knocking noise. It drove ok. I'll pop the cam cover off when home this eve.

Could it be a rocker damaged?
