Ive had all injectors replaced about a year ago, and then it was back again about 3 months ago because 3 of them had failed again. Not sure if this recall/SIB will replace what I have now, but I know there are still issues. I have it back in the shop at the moment, for heavy fuel smell in the cabin (likely leaking injectors again), and constant loud clicking (not the normal injector clicking that you hear when idling, but goes away when driving) even at highway speeds over the radio.
Ugh. I need something new. |

I ended up trading it in on the 2013 X6M I have now, since I knew it was only a matter of time before more lifters failed without coverage. My only solace was that I got $1650 back on my $2700 extended warranty after it covered ~$15,000 in repairs. |

Got mine dropped off today. Tried to get myself an M* or i8 loaner. They giggled as they handed me keys to a 528i...I had to try :-)

They laughed hysterically when I asked for an M loaner (it was worth a try). |

Injectors done-
Got mine back no issues. Have Velos II and no mention of it by stealership upon car return. Here is bottom half of my receipt. No M loaner only 320i

First post from a lurker off an on! My X6M had 4 injectors replaced at 54,000 Km back in Nov 2014 (apparently a response to a stored code with no warning lamp)...My vehicle has been fine since and is now at 67,000 Km. It was manufactured Nov 12. Based on what I have read on this thread, I presume the remaining 4 must have been revision 12. To be sure I contacted the dealer today, as I was last in for service early Nov 15 and before the TSB posted here. Wonder what the response will be on the remaining 4. Seems strange that they only did 4 first time around though. I still have lots of warranty...4yr/80 end of Nov 16 followed by extended warranty through 2018. Thanks to boards like this, I do my own basic servicing from brakes/rotors to plugs/oil changes and other filters where I have to which at the moment is just on my son's 2008 323i..which has never had a problem and is now at 98K. I'm still on the first pads on the X6...but have a set ready to go on...rotors are fine. Lots of time on my hands these days to learn and continue to baby everything.

You guys recommend changing injectors ASAP or waiting a few months to get the most use out of them? X6M has no symptoms and is running strong. There is no expiration on the bulletin right?

Do they do any ecu resets after the injector replacement?
Just want to make sure I do not have to re flash the tune after they do the work. Thanks |

I just gotta call from my SA stating all injectors were replaced and will be ready for pickup tomorrow...he told me I had index 8 and anything below 11 will be replaced. Is it just me or was everyone else under the same impression that the newer the build date the higher the index number would of been? I have MY2011 build date 6/11
That must explain the truck only getting 9.3mpg...I also need new windshield wipers on the front/back, your gonna love this...I was quoted $150 for replacement! WTF is wrong with these dealers?!?! |

Yikes - 9.3mpg? Makes my 12.2mpg look great. At least you're getting new injectors
Wait...what? $150 for wipers?? The sad thing is that some people will pay that. |

The injectors have 6 random numbers on them from Bosch that tell the computer how to read each individual injectors resistance, so they do have to be coded...I can't say if that'll affect an aftermarket tune though.

I'd do it just for the sake of doing it. Mine was running strong as well, did a 160mph run and got my first warning of failure when the engine was backfiring and stumbling. Turned it off amf back on, cleared codes and it was fine the rest of the day. Next morning though...backfiring, stumbling, tons of smoke and clearing codes didn't help...car was undriveable. Just do it while it's still fresh at the dealership and you'll get a loaner, so you've got no real reason not to.

Mines Alpine White and I was having clumps of black soot on the back like I'd gone through an asphalt paving zone, but the car still ran fine. Turns out that spotting was unburnt fuel from poor atomization, which is what the new injectors solve. Depending on your foot, you should get better mileage as well.

I think my truck was the first the dealer i took it to did the recall on. the advisor said they were contacting BMW when it was done to see if they had to update the computer and my advisor said BMW informed them that it was not required to update the ecu. Can't believe some of you guys are getting 9-10 mpg. This is my second x5m and my last one I had velos tune, dps, exhaust etc and I used to beat that truck and I never saw less then 12 mpg (was a 2011). My 13 I have now, I have left stock and I think the worst I've seen is 14.6. I had the injectors replaced over a week ago and only put 20 miles on it so I don't know if there will be an updated mpg. |

Thanks Chris.
Does the dealer give you guys a warranty paperwork after the injector replacement? I had my injectors replaced last August I believe they are index 11. Not sure if they will replace perfectly good ones but I prefer to have a warranty in hand just in case. |

If you know you have older index injectors, then I'd get them replaced now. Planned maintenance is always better than unplanned maintenance. |
