could be a number of things, dodgy injector? my m8 had the same problem, wasnt good! turned out the valve guide broke, so the valve dropped, piston hit it, bent it and pushed it back up thru the tappet 
but like i said, could be a number of things!

Could be the EGR valve, I had a problem with it a few months back, was jamming open because parts of the cat had been sucked up and got caught, or cud be seized and jammed open!
