Well, thanks in no small part to posts from some of you, I finished adjusting the valves on my '09 RT today.
I wound up having to make adjustments to all valves on the left cylinder and the intake valves on the right cylinder. Mileage now is about 12,000 miles. I double and triple checked my work, including rolling it back to TDC on each cylinder to make sure I had it right, but those valves were tight. Also verified I was using the correct unit of measure on my feeler gages (mm vice inches). Don't laugh, I had to read my book twice to make sure!
Is this unusual? I had the 6K service done at the BMW dealership in San Diego last fall.
