I anticipate replacing both banks of injectors and plugs. Glad the new injectors are out - I hope they resolve the problem. I delayed doing anything about it, as I was hoping I would hear about a solution, and didn't want to have to go through it twice. How many hours are involved in replacing the injectors and plugs - anyone know? How long have they kept your SAV's?

Bro, did you have your injectors replaced? The labor hours for the injectors is est. around 13-15 hours @ $135 per hour at stealership. The cost of the parts, 8 injectors @ $1098.
Spark plugs cost $ 225 for 8 of them, the time to replace them is less than 45 minutes because the working area is good, enough for clearance. My friend did the work for me.
I think there are a lot more owners facing the same issue, it is time for me to take the bullet and replace the damn injectors.
I used the bmw ISTA-D check the parts on DME, there is no fault code storage related to the fuel injectors.
Anyone replace the new injectors yet?
This is a valuable thread
I believe most of the owners of the x5m already jump the boat
