Yeah, the S54 does call for the valve adjustment with each inspection I... but I work at the dealer so it wouldn't cost me nothing but my own time... and I'm very proficient at that job. (which could be done DIY if you buy some feeler gauges and the magnet tool, along with an assortment of the shims) I haven't seen any long term/high mileage issues with that engine though. Trying to remember, did the S52 use single vanos, or the double vanos of the M52tu?

Sounds like you did all the right stuff to it too, must be a fun ride. I'm just personally a little too tall to get comfortable in the Z3, with the seat all the way down and back I'm still a little crunched. Z4, no problems getting comfortable.
