what would happen in the case where the shop installed index 12 injectors but forgot to code the injectors? do you need to remove them all again to write down the number to code them?
Where do the women go? Lol
Very informative DIY, makes me feel way more confident that I could DIY this if I ever needed to!
Thanks man! Yeah it's not too shabby!
Do you need to clean the injector bore hole? Or does it come out clean?
Awesome DIY. Thank you! Make sure when you use a torque wrench that you first tighten a bolt with a regular ratchet or wrench, then use the torque wrench only to torque after a bolt is first seated. Only hold the handle on the hand grip for accuracy. After you are done with a torque wrench, store it horizontally and unload its tension. Torque wrenches are very sensitive and calibrated precisely. Doing the above will ensure a precise torque setting and make your torque wrench last a long time and stay accurate.
Yeah I did that on the first round, but with so much footage I was using the TQ wrench to finish tighten as seen since I had to cut some much out. All and all, still good points! I'm having it calibrated as we speak :)
I had 55 video files of 6 mins long each for this one ha
Thank you for the DIY! I just swapped out my 3 remaining index 8 injectors to index 12 with the help of your video. I had my mechanic do the initial 3 and didn't want to pay him to do the remaining. Luckily i was able to remove the original injectors by just pulling up with my hand. I thanked my lucky stars!
Haven't had to do this on my e90 yet. When I do, ill probably just see if there is an attachment for my slide hammer that matches threads rather than pay $65 for a tiny plastic slide hammer. Very good video, learned a lot.
Always delivering quality videos! Makes me want to change my injectors even though nothing is wrong with them 😂.
Did you end up changing these injectors? And how was it?
Used this as assist just this weekend. changed Plugs, Coilpacks, and Injectors.
5 of 6 Injectors were index -05 (originals) and a lone index -12 (although everyone says can't do that) believe -12 index was installed by BMW dealer.
recommend anyone doing plugs pickup an endoscopic camera and take a peek at carbon level on cylinder. car is relatively new to me (3rd owner) and unsure of history on some of the maintenance, was contemplating doing Walnut Blast, but believe can put that off for now.
Brian Ramsey what mileage and model do u have? I’m thinking of doing the same. I bought 3 of 6 injectors, all plugs and 2 coils so far..hah taking me awhile.
And how much for labor installing everything at once? Thx in adv
I rebuilt my injectors instead of spending thousands on new injectors, usually what fucks up is the rubber O ring..I was getting miss fires on cylinder 2..my spark plug was soaked with gas..I ordered the special tool to install the o ring into the injectors.. so I basically saved thousands..
I have the same issue with cylinder 2, did changing the O ring fix your issue?
Do you have a link for the special tool For the o ring you mentioned?
Combustion seal must be sized and it must not have scratches
This is 100% false information. Does it makes sense to you that an AIR LEAK would cause a RICH condition? NO. Not if you know literally anything about engines and fuel systems.
Injectors cannot be rebuilt. At least not without thousands of dollars in equipment, and EXPERTISE which you clearly don’t have. ‘What usually fucks up’ is not the ‘rubber o-ring’. First, it’s not an o-ring it’s a SEAL on the tip of the injector and it’s Teflon not rubber. Second, that’s not what typically causes the problem. They leak due to being gummed up internally.
.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you. Mind you I did just watch a guy pull his injectors out with a pair of big goose neck pliers. Clean the tips off with Injector cleaner (Not touching the little ring seal). Put them back in and success. For how long we don't know but it was all free anyway lol.
Man I hope you are having a good life ,you are making so many people happy with those videos.Thank you.
You are informative and the way you talk about BMW N54 is equivalent to the way of Morgan Freeman talks about anything.
Can't get any interesting
thks helped me alot , as a bodyshop owner and lots of old school tools l used a dent puller S hammer 180degree bend ,,placed under the aftermarket tool on #6 3pulls out
Wow! Excellent pacing, reference info, video quality. The info quality was slightly spotty (a little here and there) but 100% useful. I have the injector update on my roadmap. BTW, I have the same model E90, N54 sedan. Also BTW, super cool t-shirt.
Thanks for watching!
Can you provide a link for the grey on black ///M TShirt you were wearing? Thanks again!
Great DIY work. It would be helpful to have you report in the video on how long each of these jobs took. Just for planning out the project!
Great video!! Used it to change my injectors yesterday. And mybimmerbrain was absolutely awesome. Helped me do the calibration remotely - I'm based in Kenya and it was really simple to get done. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Oh if you want a idea for a crazy video idea... ive been wanting to do OEM Location High Flow Silicone Inlet Intakes but I haven't been able to find a DIY. I hear the performance gains are some of the best once FBO.
+Mutune Kilonzo ah yes!!! I saw your Instagram post 👍🏻
Yep, inlets make awesome power 👌🏻
Hey man I have the stock location inlets and yes they are an awesome gain, just make sure your running an aftermarket intake system
GREAT DIY! When I swapped out my injectors, I didn't use an injector puller. I used a curved jaw locking plier haha I'm going to buy an injector puller to install index 12 injectors. I installed index 11 last time and that was a mistake.
2snayls That puller made it so much better, especially with mine being originals 👍🏻
thank You, excellent presentation! And something else; THANK YOU for NOT use any *music* that would ruined Your presentation! Excellent!
What I do when working with fuel lines is have saran wrap on hand to immediately wrap each end of the fuel lines as I remove them. wrap the tips with saran wrap and tape, then set aside with number labels. This way, I guarantee zero dust can get into the fuel lines accidentally.
Nice work bro
Can i have the name of the software for updating injcs 🙂
FCP Euro sells a set of 6 for $1300.

@@FinnyG47 Thanks for that! I ended up replacing just the one leaking injector with a good second hand one. Then ran an expensive total fuel cleaner for a couple of days then went through half a tank under hard driving with the cleaner. The car hasn't had a miss fire since! Bullet dodged so far 😅.
Just paid 2500 for them. It’s getting out of hand
Awesome DIY!
Thanks dude!
Awsome channel man I respect people who work on their own pride and joy not just make content to get views, everything is functional everything is for the passion of your prized automobile, side note:couldn't have picked a better BMW huh lol best BMW there is IMO
Thanks man! Yes indeed 👍🏻

I like their lifetime warranty Fcp euro is awsome i bought my starter from them and great video.
Best DIY video is very helpful great job bmwfanatic thank you 👍🏼
ready to replace mine next week, downloaded windows on my macbook pro and all the software needed so i can code them in myself aswell 👍🏽
+Jeff Kempienski Nice, man!
Taking out the passenger side strut tower brace really helps to have more room to access the rear of the engine.
Dont need to add more costs. If you do that then you have to get new bolt for the strut brace as they are stretch bolts.
If I am just pulling my injectors to clean the and I replace the seal and put them back in the same cylinder do they have to be recoded or will it be ok and why get them back in in five minutes?
Did you you do it and how did you get on?
I'm planning to do it for a cylinder 3 misfire / injector fault as a first step. The teflon tip seal expands when removed from the engine block, so special tools needed to compress them before re-inserting. As far as I know, only recode when changing an injector - fuel flow rate is marked on the injector.
Would you recommend doing plugs and coils since I will be in the same area at the same time ?
Your DIY's are the best.
+lundsteve Thanks!
Awesome channel brother. Bought an 08 335i a month ago. Opted out of the warranty. I have 80k. Noticed a rough idle cold start and its due for an oil change. Of course watching your channel, I started to perform the oil change, tune up and coil replacement. Noticed on the computer the oil was a tad low as well. So when I removed the oil fill cap I smelled gas! In your opinion, is this the injectors? No plumes of smoke and car runs okay. Got misfire codes on 3, 4 and 5. Oh and the oil fill cap is leaking. Sounds like a nightmare but would love your expertise! Thanks again for a great learning channel!
I have an opportunity to buy a 2010 535i twin turbo with 90 thousand miles. In very good condition, for 8 grand. Would you say that’s a great deal?
thanks for the diy man, with class as usual,,,
N54 Lord thanks buddy 👍🏻
Just ordered my set thanks for the video
Great video! Can you tell me why you estimate the savings at only $500 if the injectors and tools are around $1000 and the dealership you mentioned charges $2500?
My only suggestion would be to use a 14mm flare wrench on those lines instead of a typical box end.
True, it worked like a charm though :)
Injectors are not listed for $800 on fcpeuro, they are listed for $1,506.99
Depends on the car. On my N54 they're $1200.99
@@bentremy Yea they are like 200 bucks a piece...uggg..... BMW.
Me google they were $800 at some point. They’ve gone up drastically these past months.
Vivid Racing is selling them for $1000.
@@marcc6228 Lucky my misfire went away once I bought the plugs/coil pack set.
Just use pliers if you're not using your old injectors. Mine were bad with carbon and I had zero issues pulling them with pliers.
I love these kind of diy vids. I just got an e90 but don't think I have the balls to do this kind of repairs:/
Rafal Wysocki It's time consuming and need patience, but it wasn't too bad!
When i change the Injektors for some other used injektors, must i do the configuration too? Can i do the injektors clean too before i take other injektors?
Great video! Halfway through it and glad you finally got it out :)
Scaled Down Autos Yeah really lol
I was working hard on that one 🤣
BMW Fanatic It payed off too
Love your videos dude! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you a lot.
What the reason to change the injectors, is there any leaking?
Nice Video. What I was hoping to see was the starting process after injector install. Bleeding the lines. How did all that go & what was the procedure. Most vids on other diesels just show people cranking till they start witch is not the greatest on the the starter. Any info would be great.
Thanks...

Will MHD override the reprogramming process of will it make harder
Awesome vid! Please, tell me what flashlight are you using? It looks incredibly handy being magnetic and being able to shoot light in two different directions
Awesome job man !!
If you’re leaving the car without injectors in for any length of time, should the fuel pump fuse or battery be disconnected? I know it primes when you open the door/unlock it. I prefer not to have fuel squirting all over. Or does it only spray if injectors are connected/energized.
Good video man about to change mine after laying 1800 for new index 12’s 😂 fcp euro hiked them so bad!!
Now they’re 2.8k
Your link takes me to a set of index 12s but pricedd at $1388 =(
Yea. BMW is killing the market with these things
Ooh I been waiting for this!
Mic Raw 👍🏻👍🏻
how can you tell if you need new injectors? I’m getting 11mpg idk if thats a sign I need new injectors or I need to lighten up my foot
How long original injector last any way? My car has just over 150k. It does run good. Great diy! Btw who was ur friend that sells coils? I need some Delphi
Do you think it's possible to read the flow rates while the injectors are installed? Mine were installed without logging the numbers and I'm afraid to pull them back out again and damage the seal from the new injectors.
Yes you can see the flow rates when the injectors are installed

@@Latinblood59 Dang, I just ordered mine on credit for $1842 😅💸 Gonna replace my index 9’s. What was wrong with your injectors, were they leaking into the spark plugs?
Really appreciate your video. But I have a concern. I used the link to go to the site where you sourced the injectors, and unless there’s an error, they’re currently listed at just over $2,300 for the set. A single is listed at $379. I realize this video was made a few years ago, but have they gone up that much since then? If so, is there another source you recommend? Thank you again!
yes they are drastically increased in price
Last year when I bought my 335i they were listed at 1200
now theyre $3300
@@chrisplayz9739 damn. I’m glad I bought mine through FCP Euro. Hopefully if I ever need anymore, they’ll still be in business and honor the lifetime warranty. I’ve bought a bunch of stuff from them.
Did you remove the copper washer at the bottom of the injector well and have to re-seat them with a reamer tool, and then add a new copper washer! Sorry to ask - Thanks and great job btw -
I didn’t have to do anything to them as they were brand new, so the seal was already there
Hey thank you for the informative video.
Just a quick question, if the injectors were installed but not calibrated, what will happen? What would be the impact
Thank you
Bahaa Bou Fakhereddin rough idle or maybe won’t even start
If I disconnect the battery after doing my valve cover gasket would I need to reprogram the injectors? Also is there anyway to tell which fuel injector connection goes to which injector? I did my valve cover gasket today but didn't notice till after I finished the the prior owner didn't have the coil pack connection and injector connection together for each coil and injector
Your the the carpassionchanel of bmw’s
Should I buy a used fuel injector, and would I need to calibrate it?
Did yours start up instantly after change? Mine had to crank for about 60 seconds, then ran rough as nackers for a minute then cleared up and was smooth as a baby.
Im confused, what wrench, wrench extension, and socket to use to remove that plate which holds both injectors.
Can you please post exact links for tools i need to remove those plates.
Thanks
So informative!
Hey man! love the channel ! , hope u can give me a lil opinion on something...have a 2008 335xi ...runs pretty damn good but i noticed my oil smells like gas (noticed it when i emptied the catch can)...only 2k miles of the oil, smells under the engine cap also.the startup is good ..a small fluctuation afthe engine is warmed up.Thanks!..i live in europe so cant to blackstone:(
funnyvids4uman so, did you change the injectors? If so, did that fix your oil smell?
Can you please go more into depth with the calibration and the software you are using?
I having the problem of oil leak, it started on the oil housing which it has be replace those two gasket but now is on the head. I wondering if you could post a link where I could get the right part for the head gasket and the valve cover gasket.
Tip: don't use a torque wrench to tighten things, use a normal ratchet and only use the tq wrench to finalize the torque
Yep
Recently bought a 335i e92 coupe but not sure if they have index 12 injectors. Its a 2009 335i.. N54 for life, hahaha
great vid as well !!!!!
My 2009 has index 7s
Take the cover off the engine and look at the part number of the injector. To the right of that number you should have a 2 digit number and that's your index
Hey man I have a question, can bad injectors cause the code 2D2E? “Throttle-valve angle -intake manifold correlation” I checked every vacuum line and it’s all good , checked the manifold for any cracks nothing at all , also swapped the map sensor on manifold and charge pipe and still no fix , I’m also getting multiple misfire codes
Thank you so much this video is the perfect DIY, just a question when the n54 gets injector fail do you have to replace all 6 injectors or can you just replace the one that is failing ?
Great easy video! did my own replacement of fuel injectors no more code for misfiring!!
Sounds like you should really have each pair in and the bracket torqued down within five minutes since the bracket pushes them in further.
what is reasoning for recalibrating? can i change the injectors with no programming?
I got 09 e92 335 fbo. My injectors are fine atm but they are not index 12. What are the benefits of upgrading them if my current ones are ok. Thanks!
if only only of my injectors is bad should i just replace my index 8 fuel injector with another 8? dont really wanna replace all 6 with index 12s i dont have the money
Awesome video...I was told that I need to replace all 6 of my fule injectors on my 2010 BMW 535i. How much do the injectors cost?
how much km do you have?
Hello I got s question so I have a bad injector is this what causes my engine/car to shake when I accelerate on the highway and on idle.. just want to be sure this is my problem.. but I know it’s a bad injector thanks
Is it the higher the reference number the better performance you get?
BMW changed out 3/6 injectors before I owned my e92 ...roughly 20,000 miles ago. I watched your vid and thought I heard you say need to change all 6 injectors at once? I would normally do this for coil packs plugs lights almost everything... and should be done for injectors too? Or did you mean something else? Approx. at 5:05 into ur vid. Great vid thank you!!
I'm under the impression that you can't mix injectors or coils also you have to program the on border systems to recognize the new injectors I'm no expert tho
Would these work on the N53? FCP doesn't seem to have the injectors for the N53. Can't even select an N53 engine in their model range.
Did you have to code it after the replacement?
Absolutely
I upgraded to a MSD81 from a MSD80. Any special INPA issues to update the injector values?
Got a question for you guys. I have 6 index 01 injectors and I want to replace only one injector by an index 12. Is that a big deal?
Bmw n54 feul injacktor coding program Where did you get it? and how many miles your car?
Dude the dealership replaced my injectors under the warranty!! I just picked it up but I have more road noise now that I noticed idk how that’s linked to injectors but I still have misfire even though they changed the plugs with the injectors all together!
How did they replaced your injectors what year is your car and milage I need replace mine as well
Great video!
Got a question, if some one could answer, that would be great :)
So, I got a 2011 F10 528i (258ps), N53B30A.
Got a misfire on cyl 6. on cold start.
Replaced the spark plugs, and coils.
I also went ahead and replaced and later coded the injector on cyl.6. (index 12 - newest)
The issue is still there though.
New misfires in cyl. 6 after injector replacement on that same cylinder.
Here's my question - do I need to replace all 6 so that they could work properly?
The other 5 injectors are old index, and some 1 also told me that they needed to be replaced as well (although they are fine).
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!!! :)
Hi! How did you get on with your misfire on cylinder 6? Did you change all 6 injectors or just one? Unless, it was something else?
i have read in forums that index numbers are only for one of two banks
+TrakxGoPro Same Index for each bank, yes, but that's with Index 10 and below. Index 11 and 12 have to be the same for all 6 cylinders
Great video, tks. I saw that fcpwurocalso sells remanufactured n54 injectors. Do you reccomend to buy them ? Tks again
I'm tackling this project this sat, what are the torque specs ?
Hi, when coding the injectors on your laptop what was the program you used? and how did you hook it upto the car? thanks
Great diy! So Is "injector 1" considered to be the one closest to the front of the car or the firewall? Just curious to know the numbering sequence. Thx!

What program are you using? I have misfire codes on cylinder 2&5 runs rough, and smell of fuel out of the exhaust
I just subscribed to your channel. I recently started having problems & check engine light with my 7series Bmw N63. First one was Dmtl fuel pump leak. After driving for 2 days. I did a burnout fresh tires I got then after it went into limp mode & start to show drive train malfunction in the engine. I drove it for a little to park it and start smoking from the engine but the car wasn’t overheating. Put the computer on it the error codes were running a code saying running lean & all cylinders misfire. It starts back up without a issue but it goes back into limp mode & sometimes shut off on its own. However I noticed a air seeping sound from the engine when it’s being rev. Please can someone help me find out what could be the issue here
Man the fuel lines 1to 5 are identical. Hey only numbers 6 is different
The link for the injectors is saying the price for injectors is $1260. Has the price gone up ?
So in another video you posted in regards to the scan tool that connects to your computer. Are you not able to program your new injectors with that setup???
Thanks in advance!!!
I don't think you can
Can anybody help. Do all injectors must replaced at same time?
Hi, Thank you very much for this video. Could you tell me what software you are using in a video and where did you get your cable. My son just got 2009 335I and when we floor it it is going to the limp mode. When we drive it normally nothing happens. Best regards.
INPA software and my cable is from BimmerGeeks.net
Thank you very much! I bought it.
Hi, thx for the video! May I ask you - did you turn off the battery before you start? Or switched sleep mode? I going to remove one injector. But im afraid obout unplug the injector electric connector. So is it nessesary to turn off battery first?
Disconnect your negative cable before you work anywhere by the Electronic components. Touch the Alternator with a metal tool and it can blow your on bord computer thousands of dollars for that mf
DEX 1000 thx for reply. I have done it :)
can you replace 1 injector ordo you have to do all?
