I manually scrubbed with gun cleaning brushes and carb cleaner. Forget that! It was a mess and a PITA. I bought the BMW walnut shell blasting tool to do Mini and BMW DI engines. Maybe I'll run a special on cleaning services next month...
Wow, I didn't know injector prices had come down that far: 13 53 7 585 261 is $135 retail, available from Tischer BMW for $108 (20% off retail) each.
Vas, try replacing the coils - all of them. If they don't fix it, you're not out a whole lot. 12 13 7 594 937 $60 retail, $48 from Tischer.

If you decide to run a special on cleaning services for carbon buildup, please post it in the mid-atlantic forum. I'm definitely looking into this in the next month or so.
