Yeah.  I took my 535 into the dealer the other day and commented to
them that I didn't think the valves were rotating enough.  They tried
to tell me that the valves don't need to be rotated on a regular basis
and I shouldn't worry about it.  I told them that I heard it on the
internet and it must be true.  The secret TSB is ID 10 T.

Well, I persisted and they only charged me $1200 to remove the head
and check the valves.  I thought it to be a little much, but they
washed the car and flushed and replaced the air in my tires for FREE! 
Now I don't have to do that myself at the next Inspection I.
