Question 1200 mi service question

Does anyone know in detail the services that should be rendered at the 1200 mile service appt? I'm having it done next friday. I've read threads that other M3 owners have had the wrong things done(ie changing DCT transmission fluid) during their service. I was planning on asking the service advisor to e-mail me a list of everything they're gonna be doing ahead of time so I can make sure they know what they're doing. BTW, mine is a DCT.

Thanks for the help

I just dropped my car off yesterday and it list the following:

1) Standard Scope
2) Oil Service (Engine, Diff, & Trans)
3) *Basic Service
4) Micro Filter

I have a 6MT. You will have to leave your car overnight though.

Why does it have to be left overnight? My SA said they needed the engine cool for the valve adjustment. Only problem is that we have hydraulic lifters, ao no valve adjustment is needed. WTF?

Same here, my SA told me they'll need 2 hours but the engine has to cool off first

Valve adjustments? On a 1200 mile car? I think you're dealer may have said that by accident.

I just had my 1200 mile service done yesterday and have a question. They did all of the above items except they said the micro filter doesn't get done until the first oil service. It is listed on the workorder but the tech wrote they don't need to do it. Any suggestions?
