My inspection II is over due, any local dealers down south worth considering?

It displays -400 to inspection II, due to my 7 mile journey to work and back, counting down quicker! Would you say it wouldn't do it harm to take it on track with this - figure?

If they don't keep it overnight I don't believe that they have checked the valve clearances. The vast majority of the E46 M3's that I see don't need any adjustment, but you can't even check them unless the engine is stone cold.

I add that I am a Mercedes specialist (you may have guessed that...), but occasionally get one or two BMW through the door.

Where are you located? I have a mate looking for a decent benz specialist local in west sussex.

Just a question, might be a silly one but how do you know if its an Insp I or II that's due?

I just have 2045miles Inspection showing on mine

Look in the service book.

All the above dealers that I rang said they would need it over night as it had to be cold for some of the work - trouble is there is no way of checking other than some form of mark on the rocker cover to show they've removed it. The old hair across the door job spy style
