Need Help Purchasing Injectors.
I have been told I need to replace the injectors on my n54 335i, no surprise there, they're likely original from 2008. I am now attempting to cope with the fact that I will have to shell out some serious dough to replace my injectors. Does anyone know if the "remanufactured" injectors on eBay are bullshit? - here's a link for tested oem index 12 injectors from a seller with great ratings. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GDI-Fuel-In...5-5485d18a1236
Anybody have any experience with this... or any advice... I do not have ~$1000 laying around to replace injectors. Thanks! |

No such thing as 'reman'.
That auction shows they're -09, which sounds like Index 9, which is the worst according to popular opinion. I'd be wary of any ebay injector. Have you even checked which injectors you have, or which ones are supposedly bad? More info might help us help you avoid getting raped.

Have you already ruled out plugs or coils? There are various threads recently discussing how new -12s can be had from O'Reilly's and possibly Advance Auto Parts for less than $150, especially with coupon usage.

Ah, well that definitely sounds like injectors then. Good on you for troubleshooting the right way. Let us know which index all your leaky ones happen to be once you find out.

Friend ordered these injectors https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-x-OEM-FUE...frcectupt=true and we just installed them today. They really do looked "remanufactured" as some injectors has scuffs on the plastic. MY GUESS is that these injectors did not pass the factory QC and hence been rebuilt and then passed. Coded them in and all seems fine! We've done a lot of hard pulls and datalogging with them, and it looks good. We're pulling the sparks in the morning and going to look for fuel on them.

Pulled the sparks out after letting the car sit and cool for a bit, and they were all dry. No leaks so far

Just pay the dealership price, go new, do all 6 to index 12. In the UK you can get them for £70 an injector, brand new from bmw dealership
