15) the valve clearances need to be checked and reshimmed every inspection II service.

15) I don't all together agree with this even though it is part of an inspection II (part of the reason an proper inspection II is so expensive at dealer and why a lot of indy's can do it cheaper ie they don't do this bit!).

I didn't realise this was a must at every Inspection II. The garage i just got my last Inspection II done said around 80000 miles and this was a mechanic who had 15 years service with BMW.

I think there actually every 4500miles if driven hard, I read some where that 6000 miles is ok if your not thrashing it everyday, however not 100% sure. So i would have to do a bit of research before i commit.
