Hmmm, so it seems that some places do check the valve tolerances at both Inspection I and II, while others only at Inspection II.
I'm happy to have them checked for the peace of mind anyway. You know what I'm like for worrying about thingsNot actually in the least bit fat

If you check the service book it should be in there after the stamping pages - shows lots of dots for what each service covers. In my S54 book its under Inspection I as something like "check valve clearances and adjust if necessary" and then Inspection II says, "same as Inspection II" plus I think spark plugs and diff oil for the MC.2002 '52 S54 - Titanium Silver with 18" BBS LMs, AP Racing BBK, KW V3, H&R anti roll bars & ACS flippers (previously 2000 'X' S50 - Arctic Silver)

Chopper has used them recently as well, and when I phoned to book mine in last week, they had another MC for service too.Not actually in the least bit fat

Thanks Tony
ALways good to know of recommended alternatives.
I've been using GC Motors in Harrogate. I've been impressed with their service and knowledge which inspires confidence and the array of all sorts of exotica in their workshop adds to their credibility. But they are not especially cheap !Col N.

Good to know thanks Col.
By way of a comparison on price, Autohaus Diagnostics have quoted "just under £500 including VAT" for Inspection I (with valve clearance check), replacing the transmission fluid with (supplied) Amsoil MTF and replacing the VANOS seals/bolts/filter with (supplied) kit, while giving the car a thorough check over.Not actually in the least bit fat

Looks like you have been charged for the BMW four wheel alignment - only problem is that there is no adjustment on the rear for the MC so you have been "had"!S54 Titan Silver metallic. Black leather, most factory options including sunroof, Becker Cascade and Becker Silverstone changer.
