Recently purchased a 2011 X5 50i and have been following this forum as to what to watch out for...

I have recently noticed that my crank times in the morning (after a 12-24 hour sit) are longer....but not over 5 seconds, so, thanks to this thread I stopped worrying about it.

However, in the last week it seems like I have signifincantly reduced power in lower gears for the first few minutes of driving every morning....almost feels like really bad turbo lag I used to occasionally get with my 335i.

Does that fit with an impending injector issue? Of note, I did use a bottle of Techron fuel additive this past fill-up, so I was curious if that plays into the less than optimal running of the engine for the first few minutes.

Sorry for the " FNG questions"....just starting to get into BMWs/cars in general.
