Norcal Walnut Shell Blast - Round 2

Hey everyone, who'd be interested in a walnut shell blast around San Jose? Its been 4 years and I'm ready for yet another one (recommended every 50k miles minimum).

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=940241

Why get a blast? Gunked valves can rob up to 20whp and decrease throttle response, see more info below:

Does this include the 335d/x5d M57 engines? I have a lot of people I can send your way. There's a shop here in socal that does the Walnut blast/intake manifold cleaning/swirl flap delete/vacuum lines for 500 flat. I have them all coming down here, but can redirect them to you..

E90Crack $400 for walnut blast is insane when you can get it done for $250 in SoCal. I'd rather just wait till my next road trip down there.

Totally fine and I'm not forcing anyone's hand here, just trying to help provide a good potential option to the community up north. I don't make my way down to Socal often and when I do its typically in a bigger car/truck/suv....so personally I'd rather pay the extra to save time/gas. There's definitely shops that charge a lot more.

I’m actually looking to get all those done along with other maintenance done sooner than later hopefully before summer weather comes around. I was going to get it done in Seattle last month but trip cancelled due to family emergency.

Can you direct me to the shop or owner ?
I’m in So Cal. Long Beach to be exact. I work in the OC but willing to drive.
How long this process going to take ?


PM me.

Rogue,
You got any info on the $250 in so cal ?
My 335d is up for cleaning and I’ve reached out to another person on here that mentioned about the cleaning and other stuff on here for $500
Just in case that don’t fall through I’d like to have my other option open
Any more info on your source let me know

Maybe someone else in So Cal maybe wants to go into this as a ‘group buy’
Let me know so we can tackle this ASAP before summer 👍

PM me.
