I just found this site upon searching for places that walnut blast the 335i(n54) in Wisconsin. I just picked up a 2009 335i Xdrive sedan. I don't think its had the intake valves blasted yet so I was looking to get that done before I add an intake, charge pipe, and install a cobb v3 tuner. Good to see a Wisconsin site out there with a good amount of members.  I'm located in Elkhorn, but work in Brookfield area. Any other members in those areas?

Welcome Troy! 

What color is your car? I live and work in the brookfield area.

There is a get-together / drive this Saturday in the Northern Kettle if you are interested

Hey there. It’s a silver 4 door all stock.Im busy this weekend but thanks for the invite. Maybe next time. You know any local enthusiast that do the walnut blast service for these cars?

Hey Troy welcome!  I'm a recovering n54 owner living in North Prairie. Bob does walnut blasting but I don't know that he still does it.  His thread is in the services offered portion.

They there. I did message him. Haven’t heard anything back yet. I will gladly pay a shop to perform the service but figured I’d see if anyone local that has done it before would be willing to help. I have a tire shop in Brookfield and we do a lot of mechanical services as well, but haven’t really done walnut blasting or have the tools to perform the service. So it is hard for me to pay shop prices. But I know Milwaukee Motor Werks does this service so i may just end up paying those guys to do it for me. Thanks for the reply.

Very familiar with F & F.  I am the Northern Regional Manager of Auto Service for Blain's Farm and Fleet!

Very nice. I have been in the business for about 15 years and with F&F Tire. Good to see another tire guy around.
