It looks like it would be an engine out job to clean the intake ports on an F90.

I have been running water/meth injection for a couple of years on my F90. It goes through the intake manifolds and supposedly helps reduce carbon build up.
Yep. BMW really did learn their lesson from the severe buildup with the N54.
