I live in Milpitas - I went to Performance Technic in Dublin since they came very highly recommended. I can't find my invoice sheet but it was in the 500s. They are top notch and really know BMWs. It's a bit of a drive from San Jose, but they have a drop box so I left it there the previous night.

I've not had any Walnut Blasting done on my car, but I have called around a few shops in the San Jose area and the following would be on my target list:

BR Racing: http://www.brrperformance.com/
Reputable shop located in Los Gatos (reasonably convenient if you live on the south-west side of SJ like Willow Glen). I've had a variety of work done by them, and it's always been good.

Speed Element: http://www.speedelement.com/
Located on the north side of SJ. The reason I list them is that they're the cheapest I've found for Walnut Blasting in the south bay. When I called them, they seemed to know plenty of details about the N54 (which I have), so I feel they know what they're talking about. They're busy, so be prepared to wait a few weeks to get a slot...

your mileage may vary

as in you might not get quoted the same price, experience same service, etc.

I'm selling the wand, intake adapter, and Harbor Freight blaster setup for anyone tackling this challenge on their own.

I can even help you take off the intake manifold to get going.
