I heard a 135i race car had a valve cleaning done on the other side of the forum and despite average mileage, the valves were pretty clean.
The process didn't take too long because they weren't too bad and honestly speaking, it felt exactly the same and it still has a very slight stutter on idle.
Oh and I managed to completely ruin my hoover in the process.

So you cleaned them with the head still bolted to the block?
