Tim,

Somehow you must have missed the great seafoam testimonal season. When I first started reading this board in April, it seemed like everyone was talking seafoam. Here is a representative thread.

http://www.bimmer.info/forum/showthr...hlight=seafoam

People raved about results but oh my god scary experiences getting to the wonderful results. I was too chicken livered to go the seafoam route. Somehow the car not running on all cylinders was just not an experience I wanted.

Also, those flying pieces of carbon didn't sound like a good idea to me. Sounds like shrapnel to me. As spokeperson for the clueless, I don't even understand enough about an engine to know where the flying shrapnel could land, but I figure there can't be very many good places for shrapnel to land in these precision cars.

I am also surprised that the anti-snake oil contingent hasn't jumped on your thread already. I went the slow solvent route instead of the shock solvent and I certainly heard how stupid it was and what a waste of money it was.

All that said, if you go for it, I will be jealous that you did something I don't have the equipment for.
