You won't know until you pull it off - addition of low pressure EGR is one factor on the X5's thats different -



If the vehicle has driven short trips its whole life then yes you probably would see more CBU regardless - at the end of the day you won't know until you pull it off - the intake manifold can be ultrasonic cleaned but the valves should really be walnut blasted -


I'll have any carbon cleaned up when I do the deletes, swirl flaps deleted etc -


This is straight from the shop that is 20 mins from my house which does a LOT of diesel tuning and is one of the top tuners for the 335/X5/D


"The x5d's do not really have bad issues with CBU and when the intake is off it can just be wiped out, time and costs would depend on how badly it was once we had the intake manifold off."
