Valve Train Adjustments
My last car was an E46 M3 and every 45k the "Inspection II" service called for a lash adjustment. Last night I'm reading the FA20 engine manual and there's a procedure for the same thing. I don't see valve train adjustments in the recommended maintenance procedures. Is anyone planning to do them?

Use the included magnetic tool and for the love of god, don't drop the shim!
