Ebays buy back protection is not going to buy you a new engine if it gets damaged from using a fake injector!

Everyone has to decide for them selves. Anyone that has done some research on this matter will find there is plenty of recommendations not to mix those injectors in the same bank. Yes You are right and I’m not denying that that exists. I’m not completely convinced that BMW’s Service Bulletin is just a ploy to generate more injector sales. This idea of mixing the injectors was after I found plenty of others reporting success after doing so. As far as blowing or damaging my engine. Na I don’t think so buddy. Simply put, this is not rocket science if there is something wrong you will know! The engine will run like shit. After doing my injector change it ran so much smoother. If you had been there you would have been a believer.

I’m not here to convince you to do what I did. I know this is not for you. This is simply me sharing my experience and it may be the right move for those like iqraceworks who might care about a cost efficient way to go.

It's pretty easy to do yourself if you have Winkfp installed and some basic tools.
Down side is the cost of 6 new index 12's are something like $1200

If any of you guys need injectors flow tested and cleaned...let me know. Sometimes if the injectors are leaking like crazy, multiple cleaning cycles can fix them, but sometimes it can't.

I wish there were some cheaper aftermarket injectors available.....

What's the price for a set of index 12s in 2024? Asking for a friend.
COVID ruined the prices on everything.
