Decided on a DIY after Erhard BMW in Farmington quoted my $850+
Pretty much had to buy all the equipment but have it for next time.. Valves were pretty bad after 45k -see pics. Luckliy was able to model on CAD and have made a vacuum adapter made at work (3D printer) which worked great!!

Jet washed the intake manifold too as was gunky with oil and crap..

If the group thing doesn't materialize, send me a PM and I might be able to help you out now that I've already done it and have all the stuff..

Chris
Chris,

Thanks for posting this up! Ingenious on the 3d printing, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

PM'ing you in a second.

-Brandon
