At some point in 2007 they came with the upgraded bolts.

Inspect the exhaust hub when you do valve adjustments and replace it when it fails.
Usually one one tab fails. Most peeps find it when they do the valve adjustment.

The timing chain guide will be pretty well frazzed by 100k miles.
Replace it with the better Beisan guide when you have the Vanos off for other reasons.

Get your used oil tested and do rod bearings when your lead goes vertical.

Everything else is pretty much run-to-fail.
Thanks, StickMon!

That’s about the best summary of S54 maintenance/ failure items that I’ve seen yet.
