Yes, unfortunately that is their protocol. First all has to be well (injectors, fuel system, etc.), then you have to get code(s) for "insufficient flow", "smooth running controller" in cyl X. THEN they will start checking for carbon. Time consuming and frustrating process, but that is BMW's diagnostic methods.
