RobD 41 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Can I ask roughly the cost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftracewake 22 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 From memory it was around $600 but don't quote me, I had a few other things done at the same time. Just give Graeme a call at BMWorkshop and he can give you an accurate figure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobD 41 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Excellent thanks very much. I'll give him a ring and ask for some estimates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Did mine at Bmworkshop Botany - Ring Ross about prices as I was getting a whole lot done when this was done for me How they looked before the clean How they looked after a clean Would recommend you run a OCC (Oil Catch Can) on the N54 platform Edited October 21, 2014 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobD 41 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 What was the main noticeable improvement? Smoothness? Power? Quietening of the engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Had rough idle on startup's in the morning Couldn't compare powerwise stock versus stock as i had put a tune on after it was cleaned - was one of the pre-req's people had recommended before turning the power up on the car But plenty of threads on e90 forums about how much of a improvement it was Edited October 21, 2014 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftracewake 22 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 I noticed a smoother pull, more power and as Suresh said, much nicer idle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
