Walnut blasting in Michigan?
I've looked for places in Michigan that offer this service but I cannot find anywhere. Does anyone here know of a place or related? My 335i just got over 70k miles, and I feel like it needs this service done. It doesn't feel as quick as I see online or read the car reviews when it came out.

I'll look for that, since I was mostly searching for the service itself, thanks.
I did see one that said they can remove carbon buildup, but I think they use seafoam or something similar and I heard that doesn't work. |

You can buy your own set up for $200-250 assuming you have a good/ great air compressor

I watched the video, but I don't feel like I would be able to do that. But it does help to know what needs to be done exactly. So thank you for linking that video

I'd probably get the intake manifold gaskets, the throttle body gasket & the charge pipe O-ring. Give that to the shop when you take the car in.

All you would need is a air compressor that has 5 SCFM at 90PSI or better capability. ($299.00 on sale) |
