Just did the valve clearances at 72,000km this past weekend. Intake valves 1, 5, 7, 8, 9 & 11 all required 0.04mm thicker shims. Exhaust valves 1, 6 & 12 all required 0.04mm thinner shims.

Overall, a mega maintenance weekend with an extensive replacement set:

Engine oil & filter
Transmission oil (Pentosin MTF2)
Differential oil (Castrol SAF-XJ)
Valve adjustment
Air filter
Cabin filter
Other inspection II 'inspections'
Engine coolant
Vanos filter & 'o' rings
Spark plugs
Alternator & air conditioning belts
Engine mount bolts torque check
Front & rear brake rotors & pads
Parking brake springs
Stainless steel brake lines & brake bleed with ATE typ 200
CDV delete & clutch bleed

The car now feels stronger and smoother than ever before!
