okay, no problems but have it fixed. The cam shaft could suffer if you wait too long. Of course, avoid the BMW dealer and resort to a good specialist who knows its old BMWs.
hey, it's difficult to say from just this video. With 535s it's common to have the valves adjusted every 10000mi / 15000kms. Do you hear any throttle loss when gassing up from 0 rpm? If the revs go down the first second, that could point to inefficient valve adjustment. With my 535, it made a huge difference.
That's funny, on my 1990 535i, I paid the dealer $120. Other places like Meineke ($500) or Pepboys ($350) we're trying to rape me lol

valve adjustment throttle? what do you mean?
Throttle is in the Throttle body not in where the valves are.

oh and don't go to the bmw dealers -- they charge you triple of the price a good specialist does.
