Sounds like BMW needs to design a Walnut Injection System to deal with the intake valve carbonizing problem. It would be great to finally have a use for all the walnuts in my front yard :)

You know there is a German engineer right now working on doing just that! Of course it wouldn't be a standard walnut of course. It would have to be a super high-tech, cross-pollinated, genetic mutation walnut that would eventually cause a CWISL (check walnut injection system light). :lol:

Yep, even the GM 3.6L V6 has the same problem.
