One lady with a 6 series makes them back up her car, as she says she can't do it...
Anyway, back on topic... I spoke to him at length, he looked into the SIB # posted above and does see it. He said it is a recall coming, and the bulletin reads for them to check all trucks. However, not all trucks will get replacements. They will be taking a borescope and using it to inspect the injectors, checking to see the index number. Those with Index 10 and lower will get them replaced. Index 11 and 12 will NOT be replaced.
The VIN range goes from 03/09 until late in 2013 (I forget the month), so it should cover ALL E70 X5M/X6M vehicles. After looking into my VIN, he says he does see something pending, so eventually my truck will be in for the work. So, it does not guarantee a free replacement, its all depending on the Index number of the injectors in the truck...
Much like the N63 customer care package that was recently done, this will take time to sort the vehicles affected, and accumulate the parts to each dealer. So, it will take some time, but I would expect in the next few months everything to be well underway.
Good luck to all!!
