You probably won't. The n54 is the only one with really bad carbon buildup. They made some changes from the n55 on that minimize it. Fwiw people see pretty decent bud up around 50k-75k miles on the n54. We did ours on the wagon somewhere between 80 and 90 and saw a decent improvement

The original comment of "you probably won't" was meant for wdc... She was asking about her 240 with a b58 engine. I was attempting to say the n54 has the quickest / worst carbon build up of those engines.
Fwiw we noticed a decent improvement in our n54 powered wagon after blasting

That should give you peace of mind after seeing the before and after photos? I'm glad you are still enjoying the 1M. They do seem like such awesome cars.
