media blaster: walnut Blaster
So few weeks ago
I was bumming around on the internet
And I ran across the guy
https://www.bavauto.com/bmw-media-blaster-b1100008
Ended up getting one
Have not use it yet
Next week project
Pretty good price 275 shipped
Comes with the n14 / n18 intake adapter
25 pounds of crushed walnuts
Basically everything you need to Walnut blast them dirty valves
You still need an air compressor and a Shop-Vac and basic hand tools
But little things right !!!

Going through the blasting procedure now, but not with this unit.
Hopefully the wand is bendable if you want to use this on your mini. The N54 engine faces the side where you can use the long wand.
Good luck, just be sure your valves are completely closed.

walnut is so old school
the new thing is dry ice blasting (not really all that new)
advantage is no worry about nasty media residue going bad places!
Dry ice-blasting is a form of carbon dioxide cleaning, where dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface in order to clean it.
The method is similar to other forms of abrasive blasting such as sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or sodablasting substituted for dry ice as the blasting medium. Dry-ice blasting leaves no chemical residue as dry ice sublimates at room temperature.
