2014 X6M Performance Question

[plafra63]

I have 2014 X6M E71) with approximately 20K on the clock. To me it just doesn't seem to have the power it used too. Engine doesn't sound as smooth as it should. I do notice occasional screech on startup, (like a belt slipping). But just for a second. I know the VANOS make noise, but it sounds like Subaru. One last item. Here in SoCal weve had lots of rain. The Armadillo is dirtier than normal. On the rear quad -exhaust, tips 1,3 & 4 show normal exhaust deposits. Tip number 2 is clean inside and out.

I don't have a scheduled maintenance for another 10K but I do have a couple minor fixes I could take it in for. I want to have some good info to avoid the dealer blowing off my complaint because I have no fault codes so any input is appreciated.

Get the injectors looked at/replaced. There was a campaign for the X5M and X6M injectors and covered for free BMW.
