Hey there Scotty!
I'm one of your younger viewers from Eastern Europe. So I have this old BMW, e39, 1999, 3.0 diesel, manual transmission model. It has more than 200 000 miles on it.
I've been watching your Italian Tuneup video, and the thing you've told about your wifes car, after driving it for a longer range it feels like a ROCKET! I've been doing this with my car for over a year, after driving it for at least 60 miles to one city and back, it feels like a freakin rocket when I get back! It even pulls me a little bit to my seat when I floor it.
But it only feels like that after the long drive during the evening. In the morning after it stands outside during the night, it again feels just "meh" like a slow old boring car. How come??? Shouldn't the Italian tuneup burn the carbon inside the engine and have more "juice" to it for at least a week? Not for a few hours during the evening until the morning.
By the way these old e39 and e46 BMW are super popular in my country, we even manufacture some of the parts ourselves. So parts are dirt cheap to find. We can buy a used "live" engine for 30$ here. No joke.
Do you have any tips about my concern? Thanks!

I am not scotty.
The Italian tune is to just get all the fluid going in the system and make the engine free. Like pushing fast water down a pipe that been sitting there.
- I would use a can of intake valve cleaner for carbon build up on the intake and spray it and see how this goes. Crc and liqudmoly make good product from my experience
