As Glendog says, the valve clearances are also checked and adjusted, they will need the car for 2 days. If you drop it off at 9am, and they call you just after lunch to say its done, they've not done the clearances.
I have a table to record the clearances and any adjustments made, a copy of which goes to the customer.
Outside of the service schedule, whenever I see a CSL for a service I also carry out a smooth running test to check the headgasket, a Vanos test, and remove and clean/replace the Vanos filter.
If you have any other questions, PM me  |
Agree with all of this. The inspection 2 kit from BMW includes new fill and drain plugs iirc, which is nice.
I have taken to conducting a compression test while the spark plugs are out, as it's a quick indicator of early head gasket problems, as well as priming the oil system with no load on the big ends. I also take a close look at the vanos oil pump drive tabs while the cam cover is off.
