S54 valve adjust update
Received some valve adjusting plates today. Ordered six each of the six smallest sizes (thickness wise). Smaller than I thought.

Oh boy! I can't wait until I have to do this...
As mine sits in the garage tonight, it has 12002 miles on it.
Probably right after HC I'll be due.
Wish that you had a couple more thousand miles on yours!

What's the valve adjustment interval on the S54s?
I have 10,500 on mine. The valve check/adjust is scheduled to be done at Inspection I according to my service manual. Based on the way my lights are going (10072 miles = one green light left) it would be around 25K.
Oil service, Inspection I, Oil service etc.

Ron, I'm wondering if you might have an idea about something I found under my hood today. (I have a 2002 M3 if you recall).
I'm including it in this old thread because I thought it might be related to my recent Inspection I service.

anyone else with an idea chime in too

Parts
Ordered some valve parts to see how the shims fit and how the retaining clips come out, which wasn't clear (to me) in the instructions. It is now.

Price went up a little.
Seems I paid right around $225.00 back then.
Does anyone know what the torques specs were for the valve cover nuts?
Thanks
Thanks
So you can't buy the individual shims anymore? Only the entire set?
Not sure what you mean by "valve cover". The S54 engine has a black plastic cover called the ignition coil cover. It is secured with chromed interference fit cap nuts. Just snug them down; 10N*m sounds about right
Underneath the ignition coil cover resides the cylinder head cover again secured with interference fit cap nuts and rubber grommets. Just snug these down too; 10N*m sounds about right.
Take Ron's advice and get yourself the TIS DVD.
