Check out my intake valves! Walnut blast

ThisCarIsFast · 08-22-2014, 03:53 PM

Having my intake valves blasted by BMW of Austin today. $700

Here are the pics the SA sent me pre walnut shell blast. You think these warrant the valve cleaning? 73k miles on my car. I'll post after the cleaning once I receive the pics.

How is it running now? I'm in Cali and having mine done in two weeks. Heard great things about having this done to high mileage 335's.

The car runs great. It is so smooth, it feels like a brand new car.

I just had turbos replaced under warranty, walnut blast, waterpump and thermostat changed as a preventative measure and tranny and diff fluid changed.
I think the biggest thing I have noticed is the tranny fluid change. Buttery shifts with my AT.

The walnut blast made startup more "perfect" and it idles perfect. My car used to rev to like 1,500 rpm at startup and then settle down.
