There is really no reason not to get it done right away. In my opinion, if BMW is willing to spend the money to do a recall, it's clear that they anticipate a much more costly outcome if they don't. By the way they've handled it I don't think this is a small matter. If you wait until the it's "necessary" to replace the injectors, you may be replacing more than the injectors only. As an aside, I had my injectors replaced and that annoying "sewing machine" sound is gone. The new injectors are much quieter. What I don't know is if that's because it's a better design or the old ones were on there way to failing. Just my .02 |

It sounds like you may have something else going on. I'll tell you what convinced me it was the injectors was when I drove the truck without the engine cover, the sound was noticeably louder. Did you mention the sound to your s/a, and if so what did he/she say? |

Just had my X6M done here in Canada at dealer all under warranty. Parts are $1,500 plus 6 1/2 hrs labor. $4500 USD is crazy.

I had mine done last week here in Canada. When I asked them if the injectors were bad they told me they just changed them regardless because they are bound to fail. 2013 X6M.

I'm wondering after reading this tread if I should check my as well, I probably should, the warranty will run out in May, but if this is recall it shouldn't matter.
EDIT I picked up my car from service today, dropped it off last Thursday for injectors replacement and few other things, as far as injectors go, no replacement for me, all injectors were indexed 11 so no replacement, not sure if it's good or bad I guess we will have to see.

Well, mine is back at the shop again...
Ticking constantly, at idle, under acceleration, at constant throttle. Only time it doesn't tick is when it's turned off! I know something is wrong, but i have a feeling BMW techs have no clue how to diagnose this .I told the SA I do not want my car back until this is finally fixed .See where that goes. On the plus side, I know the shop foreman and the SA very well and they will do whatever they can I am sure. It's the techs I don't trust, except to replace things .Like maybe the whole engine! Also in for steering pump and AC compressor. Haha .Bgeez. |

Hey Guys,
I need some advice about this recall. My 2012 X5M with 48,500 is at the local dealer ship getting a oil change and new spark plugs right now. I emailed this service bulletin to my service adviser and she said "The service bulletin that you sent is not for Canadian cars. They do not cover any service actions under that warranty from what we could find. The car does state No Open Campaigns at this time, if something was Covered it would list under that when I check the Vin." I just purchase this car from a dealership in Washington state who acquired it from Canada. To my knowledge it was a US spec car sold in Canada new and then brought back to the states. My cluster is in MPH and not KPH. Any advice on how proceed guys? |

When you say "reset adaptations" do you mean that they removed error messeges or that they updated (reflashed) your ECU?

When I go to mybmw and choose my vehicle info it doesn't give the information you show in the drop down. Perhaps it needs to be done on a computer(?). I'll try and post results of my attempt.

Has anyone had their newer Index 11+ injectors fail on them? I've got 12's now, but earlier this week was running a GTO (walked him) but shortly after I exhibited the same surging, puting and black sooting on the rear of the truck from when my 07's accompanied with the same reduced power warning and all. I haven't washed the car since to give myself a clean slate, but I swear it feels like I'm down on power, boost takes longer to build and the engine feels rougher. I don't have a CEL, which from what I've read, sounds like it's the only way to get BMW involved in replacing these injectors in general, let alone if they'd do it a second time.

The recall wasn't issued due to losing races against GTO's. The recall applied to some injectors leaking fuel into the cylinders causing bore wash. From what I have researched, index 11 and up injectors do not have this issue. If you've lost power after redlining your motor to walk the GTO, then you probably have issues far beyond leaking injectors.
