Throttle body cleaning

Does anyone have pictures or info on how to clean throttle body on F25s?
Google search can't seem to find anything on N55 engine throttle body cleaning.
Any tips would be appreciated as I have never done it on our BMW.

Why do you think it needs to be cleaned? I don't know how to clean it since I've never done one on a N55, but depending on your mileage, you should be much more concerned with dirty valves/intake, where the TB is probably pretty clean compared to the valves.

Remove it and clean like any other vehicle.

Enjoy removing the intake manifold...

FWIW removed mine at 99,000km, no buildup. Valves barely had any buildup.
