 S54 Valve Adjustment at 30K ??



What do you think? Is it necessary to have your valve adjusted at Inspection I ? I called a
BMW independent shop and was told that I should only do it at 60K.

I was at the stealer last week they said it should be adjusted on Inspection I. My S54 M was adjusted already at 24k miles. It also might depend if the car needs adjustment or not...

I've yet to hear of one that needed adjustment at Inspection 1. It's on the list of things to check for Inspection 1, but I haven't heard of any being out of spec at that point. Ron's wasn't, Randy's wasn't, mine wasn't.

I think that it is good idea to check at inspection I and then go from there assuming you use feeler gauges to know what they actually are. The BMW gauges won't do that.
