I'm not sure if you're being a smartass or a know it all newbie with your 5 posts, but if you'd read what I said, I didn't lose the race...if anything it was filler to explain what situation I was in that caused it, which a similar situation that caused my stock set to fail months earlier. If you read the thread from beginning to end, you'll also see I know exactly what the recall is because I've had it done. I haven't lost power 100%, it's intermittent along black sooting and accompanied with a reduced power warning...the exact same thing myself and others reported when their injectors failed.

This could explain the soot, putting, surging during low load/idle situations re-introducing too much unburned fuel by way of blow-by back into the cylinders. This would also explain why you have no issues at high loads (e,g. Walking a GTO ) PS: Whoa. Just saw the previous comment. Rest assured, I'm not attempting to be a know-it-all. I just happen to be going through the same thing myself and thought I'd contribute. Hoping to be a part of the community. Last edited by Fats; 03-24-2016 at 12:58 AM.. |

Touche...I've already replaced assemblies #1 and #8 from the RH picture with brand new parts because they were either weeping oil or loose fitting around the #2 gasket feeding directly into the turbos themselves. #1 (broke when my buddy was doing the injectors) and #3 (typical crack that leaked down the oil bridge) from the LH picture we're replaced with used lines while at the dealership, but he said all three lines needed replacing because they were brittle and broke two simply doing work in the area, so I'll be ordering everything from there LH picture from FCP Groton since I've got credit there and will be doing a complete suspension rebuild before Bimmerfest 2016.
PS - That reply was directed to X-static for the first sentence in his reply to my question.

I did receive a "reduced power" message a couple of years ago when one of the fuel pumps was failing. Both were replaced under warranty. |

got my letter today. What's interesting is that myBMW still says I don't have any recalls... Dropping my car off on Monday next week. I think I already have index 11 injectors, so they may not end up changing them at all. We'll see what happens I guess...

BMW of North America is giving me grief on reimbursing me of what I had to pay last year to replace my injectors (CEL). I'm glad to read its emissions related. I will be pursuing them further if they deny my claim again.

Update
Took car in for some work. SA said there's a recall on injectors. Replaced that afternoon on the house.
This by the way after calling several dealers that denied the recall. Just bring your ride in. They will take care of it. It's worth the short drive. |

I haven't done anything because I've been waiting to see what Travis1807 does in terms of deleting as much plastic as possible and using a catch can setup instead. I wanna get rid of the random warning because I'm tired of the part/heavy throttle stumbling I feel right before the error message goes off, but then it'd be just my luck that I spend $100 +/- and then he'd release his kit :-)

Thanks M5james. Was hoping for a solution. My idling issue seems to be intermittent and I have replaced vent pipes, connecting lines, and both filtered air ducts in your diagram and still no luck.

Of course they come out with a recall after I had to fight with them for 2 months to have my injectors replaced. They made me pay 20% of the bill in Nov. '15 and in Jan. '16 they recall the damn injectors.
Anyone know how I would go about getting reimbursed? |

I just had mine replaced when they replaced my driveshaft. They originally booked it under "investigate" and they must have needed to be replaced |

Anybody knows what is the warranty on the new injector?
Dealer changed all the injector last summer under the recall and sometime in fall, I experienced a CEL twice and it runs rough, and after restarting it, it runs fine. Scanned it and there's a misfire, forgot what cylinder but cylinder 1 stuck on my head, so I just cleared it and it runs smooth, so I thought that's one of the clear the code and it will go away, that happens twice to me. And now that it is winter, I get the CEL more often and having a misfire on cylinder 3 & 6, so I'm thinking its probably the new injector, only thing that has been done is the new injectors and never had a problem prior to the new injector. Correct me if I'm wrong, if the problem is with the spark plug or coil then it should run rough all the time, but when I don't have the CEL it runs smooth, then when it runs rough it will throw the CEL. |

Ok, so I took my M to the dealer. And the night before, I rescanned and just getting misfire on cylinder 6. Upon opening the hood while the vehicle is running. I noticed right away that there's some weird noise. I know how the sound of BMW injector, I'm not new to the sound, and this sound is way different, the tick tick sound of the injector has more interval into it, not like a fast pace one. I noticed the fuel line going into injector 6 has a strong vibration and once you hold it you can feel it right away that it is loose. Tried to push the injector and the sound changed to the normal fast pace tick tick.
So I told it to the dealer and even showed it to them. So they changed injector 5 and 6. So right when I got to the dealer to pick it up. They told me the engine malfunction went on. And they need to do more testing. Fast forward. I got email from my SA telling me that the cylinder head needs replacement. Turns out the injector pitted the injector bore. I asked on who will shoulder the cost and he said there's no cost to me. but I will drop by to talk to them personally. I don't want any surprises. So if you hear something weird on your injector, check it right away. I have a video on how it sounds with loose injector and once I push it in. |

Slightly unrelated but I finally fixed my reduced power warnings.
