FYI, I discussed carbon buildup with my service team leader today in the course of a broader conversation. His response what that while he had seen carbon issues on a number of BMW engines (as Lexus, Audi, etc), he has not yet heard of any on the d. He did go on to say, however, that the problem usually rears its head in the gas vehicles after around 75k, but he does not have many diesel service clients with that kind of mileage. He suggested that i stay on top of oil changes and do what I can to fill up with the cleanest fuel possible.
Off the record, he unofficially recommended that--if it is a personal concern to me--i investigate possible additive options (although he felt that the success thereof may be limited by the direct injection design).
