Re: I have a 2001 BMW 325 and the service engine soon...
SES lights are mostly just "HEY I NEED AN OIL CHANGE" warnings...or some other standard maintenance. Only your dealer or an independent shop with BMW OEM CDI tools can reset this.

Think this engine has had its day,could be a hydraulic valve adjuster ,well the noise anyway but as for the rough idle i have no idea without my head inside the engine compartment Could even be a piston who knows as these type of cars do get well thrashed about by budding F1 drivers ,if you can video it and post the video then i might have a better idea failing which ask a local mechanic to have a look for you
i hope you didn`t change them because the light was on without having it checked out.you need to have the code pulled from the computer to know what its telling you to have checked as without it you won`t know what area to start the diagnoises in.
Most probably it is synthetic oil ad unless you own the tool to open the computer you will need a BMW tech to reset the light or at least a certified BMW mechanic.
your maintenance service is overdue and that triggers the dash warning. The mileage triggers these alerts an good maintenance shop can reset them. Have your oil and other services done
