2013 X5M Rough Idle and start

[mswaz]

So just had my 30K service performed about 600 miles ago and since then this:
* Tough time starting, It always starts but takes a couple seconds where before it always started immediately
* Starts rough, not normal and smooth and RPM's bounce around a bit
* RPM sitting at lights bounces a bit and sometimes rough idle, sometimes like its about to die
* Seems to be a bit more black soot from tailpipe than normal
* On start really smell a gas or chemical smell from exhaust
* Car seems to run fine but possibly a little low on power at acceleration

Is this the injectors? No error codes thrown or check engine lights. Just a coincidence since the 30K service?

Sounds like you have an injector issue...

I would have taken it right back to the dealer to have those issues sorted out.

You go to BMW Bellevue?

Started up days and miles later. I use Seattle, but lately their service is really lacking. I use to frequent Bellevue but switched for bad service years ago but I hear they have turned some thing around over there. Any experience?

Same issue for me. You will most likely get a CE light soon. Long story short 8 injectors and 8 plugs were needed.

I've always used BMW Seattle. I had a few bad experiences at Bellevue many years back and never returned.

Yeah same here. Seattle has been great in the past but lately its been bad. I'll likely stick with them though as Bellevue still scares me a bit. Northwest is good but its a trek.

Don't forget this....

yes they did spark plugs and air filters at 30K miles. Since then I have been having the problem
