Carbon build-up...secondary air system cleanout

Hi-

My dealer is telling me I need to have the engine torn apart and the head removed and the secondary air system cleaned of carbon deposits. The service engine soon light is on and has been triggered by this carbon build up. Is this something that other people have had a problem with? I know it is a problem with the M5. I have a 2001 X5 with 47,000 miles. They are telling me it is going to be $8,000 to clean the head.

Any thoughts? Anyone else?
