Or a way to fine tune it using software after getting close with the tool. There are just too many ways for the timing wheel tool to be off because of engine block metal casting discrepancies and the such. It truly is a sensitive adjustment.

Yes this does appear to be a common adjustment after doing a timing job. The tool that many of us are using is not as accurate and robust as the tool that BMW technicians use to perform the service. If we went with the BMW OE tool then we would have paid alot more and probably have to rent it out to recoup the outlay of money for one of these tools. Out of the three timing services that I have performed only one did not require the timing wheel to be adjusted. My other 2 cases required the bank 2 timing wheel to be adjusted.
