Just wondering if anyone knows if this has to be adjusted at a certain milage on the BMW M3 coupe's?

I've just been looking around at them on Autotrader and see that it is mentioned on one of the cars description, so wondering if anyone know's whether it has to be done on all of them as standard at a certain milage?

Also, anyone know what milage all the services are due at? I'm assuming that it's going to be similar to that of the normal M3's, of which I know there are a few owners on here.
 
What is considered old? It's the 2nd from bottom on that page, so it's 6 years old (not long after they stopped making them I think).

Flippin heck, that's a bit late! My clio is at 36k and then 70k! Are all the inbetween ones just minor then? What milage is the cambelt etc done?
 
Can you just expand a bit on what the problem actually was? I know nothing about them! Do the valves just wear or something? It's not actually, just doing some research for my dad.

So is it good to look for one that has had the unit replaced? Or is it like you say not something to be particularly worried about. It the rattling just something to look out for when test driving?
