If they don’t have the tools for that job I’m surprised they could change a wheel.
Correct Steve, they’re the company that don’t have feeler gauges :lol:

Has anyone got an official document which outlines what exactly is done during an inspection 2 service which I can send to the dealer?

Try telling them to take a look at the service booklet that comes with the car. The one with the stamps in from the places that should have followed that schedule outlined in it! The ignorancy surrounding this stuff from supposed specialists is amazing. Not hard to read the service booklet that comes with the car ffs.

Eta sorry this photographed page is for inspection 1, inspection 2 adds diff / box oils, plugs and some other things iirc, but both show valve clearances as part of the schedule for sure.

Lovely cheers for that Tom :thumbsup:
I do not own the car yet so had nothing official indicating this check needs to be done, the dealer said they would get the valves measured and adjusted, the cars on 60000 miles,. As this was not done during its inspection 2 do you think any damage could have been done to the engine?

Yh I’ve viewed the car, to me everything sounded ok but then I’m not an expert so could easily miss something

That's a tricky one to answer, quite possibly not if the gaps have remained constant and no shimming adjustment required, and some owners do report no adjustments have been necessary. I'd say that's a rarity though and usually there will be adjustments required, if not attended to then at some point as a minimum you'll have poor performance and cam wear, leading to follower wear, leading to possibke crank damage.. But that would take some time.
In an ideal world you'd be there when they were doing the shim check and you could then see the state of the cams /followers and if any valves were way out of spec. If they're not willing or that's not possible get them to take some pics of said items and post them up on here or m3 forums. If they're not damaged I can't see any other harm could have come to the engine from the lack of the valve check, I stand to be corrected though.
