I had a 08 335i and now a 13 335i and use Techron regularly to keep the injectors clean, I had the 08 cleaned at 40K miles and was surprised at the amount of carbon was built up in the valve area. Really mess.

This - fuel system cleaner in a DI engine does absolutely nothing to clean the intake valve train (does help the injectors stay healthy though). Detergents can't clean something they never come into contact with.
