Annoying stumble and annoying *tink* please help.

JakesJB4 · 05-06-2016, 07:02 PM

Hey guys and gals, please give me any feedback you can.. I have a 2008 335xi with 86k on it. And it recently began to start pretty rough and then have a rough idle. It does this at all temperatures (climate wise, and engine wise). And then it feels to me like a misfire and the RPMs go down- yet it throws no codes.. Simultaneously, it makes a single tink noise.. Almost like throwing a nut into a a glass bottle or something.. I just had a walnut blast done and it didn't help at all. I've also just replaced all six spark plugs and and coil packs. And I now replaced both of my vanos solenoids.. What is my next step I am losing my mind. PLEASE HELP!!

any idea where to get them a decent price?
Thank you for your input

Hmm not sure, seems to be a shortage of them lately.

There was a recall "bulletin" on the injectors a while back. You'll have to find that and bring it to the dealer. If they won't help you out go elsewhere. The assholes near me at Prestige made me pay for labor while they paid for the injectors (after offering the opposite and I told them to go screw).

Yeah I even called BMWNA to see what they would say and they acted like they had never even heard of a fuel injector before lol.. I can't even find any fuel injectors for sale from a reputable company

and my misfire got worse today.

Ebay is loaded with them. I just had a buddy purchase a set of 6 for ~$400 or so with a one year warranty. It was either index 9 or 10.
