I know this is old thread, but I was wondering,

instead taking out hose at throttle body, just take out MAF sensor, keep it safe somewhere. and put some making tape with seafoam spray nozzle in that hole.

Seafoam site says it does not harm rubber or plastics, so intake should be fine. Also, in BMW N52 engines the throttle plate is always opened, and idle is controlled by valve opening. So we do not need to worry about if throttle plate is closed, and also it may clean throttle plate area.

Ofcourse we need to reinstall MAF sensor and reset the OBD code later.

Any issues with this approach?
