Engine question

I've got my CSL in at BMW at the moment having engine work done. It had an inspection 2 about 4-5k miles ago, i've just been to the ring and spa (both amazing

) but the engine started to rattle a bit on the way back so i booked it in with BMW thinking it was the tappits needing readjusting it turns out it has worn camshafts and rockers as well. Its done 56k miles never been used on track until I used it and always serviced at BMW.

Would you have expected BMW to have spotted the wear on the cams etc when readjusting the tappits at the inspection 2 service? and is this a common problem?
