I know because AutoKraft haved look after my M5 for over 9 years (also has to have valve clearances done) and they do it properly, unlike the dealers!
who try to do it on the SAME day

As for sticking to BMW for the service, I think the rules are 'in accordance with BMW' not has to be by BMW.

Tell him Jonathan sent you!!

This is wrong,with the bmw extended warranty you have to use a bmw main dealer for your servicing,what you are refering to is the bmw 3 year warranty when the car is new.

Arhhh, yes. Sorry all. Got my terms and conditions book mixed up.

Indeed, you do have to visit the stealers with the extended version.

So for the CSL, servicing is the stealer. Warranty repair the stealer, consumables like brakes, clutch and any interim oil etc.. your helpful independent

The valve clearances are done in both the Inspection services, it's the spark plugs (and a filter or two) that are extra in the Insp 2.

Possibly, it's in the service handbook if anyone wants to check.
