BMW/ MINI Walnut shell carbon blaster?

Does anyone know the source of where to buy one? One of my cars is currently having this service done thankfully under warranty... I'm a DIY'er and would rather DIY than pay what the dealer wants once it's out of warranty.

Thanks.

Google and search around. I know there are DIYs made out of parts from Harbor Freight media blasters that seem to get the job done for $50 in hardware.

Thanks. Yeah I have seen them. I want to get the same machine they use at the dealership.

BMW doesn't want you to have the tool. However, it can be had. ECS has it in there catalog here. http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2101847/PriceAlert/

There is a good post on the BMW forum. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=682116
