I looked up the factory recommended interval for valve adjustment and its says "Adjust only if noisy".
Normally I would say follow MFG recommendations, but there has to be some time interval. Looked up some other high revving Honda motors (B18c5) and its recommended every 30K.

Sorry jenn. I thought I replied. My blackberry has been acting up recently. Sorry. For m3's we don't do those. It takes too long for us to tie up our lifts.

I don't have any shims either and without shims it's a pita. Plus if it's anything like my scirocco then special tools are required. I don't even know where those tools are ah I remember now, gave them to a buddy.
