if you mean the manifold itself, unfortunately.. no!
it'll be a biach to remove in-situ too. possible but not fun.
the rest (TB, hoses, AFM etc) are all easy enough to pop off and clean

I believe acetone is the wonder stuff for cleaning inlet manifolds. if not bmw dealers might sell you the stuff available for cleaning e36 tds ally manifolds.

i poured some TFR into mine, sloshed it around a bit, left it to dissolve for a while the pressure washed it out. clean as a very clean thing
