Default Walnut blasting Valve cleaning - Vancouver

I just did a valve cleaning on the new to me '08 535xi t.
someone might remember the car, as it was owned by another forum member.

If someone needs to have their intake valves cleaned, shoot me a message, I can help with the job or rent the tools for it.

here some pics:

Hot damn! What are the odds of that?!

Welcome to the forums! Post up some pics of your ride when you get a chance.

Looking forward to meeting one you day. I actually need to do a walnut blast badly I think, but wouldn't have a clue where to start, but if you'd be into helping / guiding, would love to tackle it.

Let me know / drop me a PM with your contact info.

Nice! Debadged too I see. Our cars would look neat parked side by side. What colour's the interior?

PS Is that a 2" hitch receiver you got?

I don't think the ride will be as comfortable with 20's, sorry mate. The v710 look amazing on your car!

No worries. The VMRs do look great and the ride is ok locally. Unfortunately im moving to Toronto and i dont think i can run 20 on their roads.

Damn i love the black

Well, I can vouch for Zenocchio! He does awesome work, and is a perfectionist! Here are some before and after pics from my 335:
