I know this is kind of a hijack, but obviously you've pulled a bunch of intakes. Mine is a 330i.
Oh, and my valves looked absolutely spotless! Just a few hundred miles away from 100k. I was pleasantly surprised!!

The torque of the bolts for the manifold to cylinder head is 11 ft-lb. There is no special sequence. There is no way of removing easily! Two sets of hands makes it much easier.
