Connecticut Valve Cleaning

Within the past 5k miles, I've have my spark plugs and injectors replaced. Even with this work, I continue to experience misfiring (cylinder 5 first, then replaced my injectors, then cylinder 1 today ).

I'm curious if anyone has experience with a dealership that has admitted dirty valves are a problem and will do the work under warranty. If all fails I will go to an indie shop and would love some suggestions for locations. I already have learned that AUTOCouture has the official BMW tool and is currently running a special of $499. Any other options out there?

I know it's a hike for you and seems like you're looking local but VAC in Philly does it.

I second that. Dave does my installs. No better person.
