Is it true that the BMW maintenance schedule only indicates a retorquing
at the first 1000km(600mi) service? Yes.
Is it true that your salesman told you that oilheads need to have their
heads retorqued every 10000km (6000mi)? I believe you.
Were it me I'd pay about as much attention to a sales critter spouting
off about maintenance issues as I'd pay to a mechanic talking about sales
terms :-)
