using that or something like the bottled techron fuel cleaner makes sense after more mileage. i would use a bottle and empty tank before each oil change, as it kills the oil.

+1 about Techron, but I do not think it applies to the 335 (direct injection) engines. Do a search.

If no codes are being thrown use Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner (concentrate). It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
