For the BMW 7 series (E38) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 model year. Fuse box in engine compartment. fuse box location. Open the hood.
see if there is an inline fuse on the power wire to the radio. It appears to be a known issue. Check out the link
black plastic fuse box in the engine compartment on the left side of the car close to the firewall. The fuse is 30 Amp; it is fuse number 32 (the location diagram is on the inside of the lid on the fuse box).
One of two things I think, if you are using low octane "Regular" gas in this can and it says it requires premium, the car could be retarding the timing which could cause a knock on idle.
you could also check the compression for a loose valve that could be causing the knock, otherwise you might have a bent rod, which it sounds like you might. The kock will get progressively worse until you fry your engine and have to buy a new one. Good Luck. Talk to a mechanic.
