Start with the inspection II checklist in the service manual (also found here on this board) and add your extra requests. Make a list as you indicated and go over it with the SA in advance. Expect to pay for services over & above the standard items if you dont have an obvious problem/noise to otherwise justify the work. I just put together my parts list for the service which I wil hand off to the SA in advance ( like the replacement plugs for diff/ tranny etc.)

Tell them you want the checklist completed and returned to you along with the valve worksheet. Defintely have them check the intake cam bolts ("vanos bolts") when they have the head apart.

When in doubt, get the service manager on the phone in advnace and tell him your concerns.

As others suggest, a case of beer in the trunk goes a long way towards goodwill.
