Why do you think you need it? Carbon buildup on the n18 engine can happen, but it's not widely reported..

Hello Bobby - as said above the carbon build up on the N18's aren't as bad as the previous N14's, but it does happen. You can have your valves inspected to see if a clean up is necessary. Typically, a clean up pricing ranges anywhere from $300-$700 (depends on the shop). You can use this site HERE to help you find a MINI indy shop that can help you out.
