X5M 555bhp
Hi guys weve got a 2010 X5M 555bhp which has developed a miss fire usually only from startup when cold. Its been looked at by mechanics and scanned and so far cant find a deffinate fault except they want to send all injectors off for testing and cleaning but im reluctant as i dont feel its the fault. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Re: X5M 555bhp
What did the scan it with ?.
A m8 who owns a garage did a snap-on scan on a audi v6 TDI for me and it came back with a fault for the coil pack on cylinder 8. )
Dedicated bmw software is the best way to go.

Hi bn16
I think another member X5mkal with an X5M had a similar prob and was down to the high pressure fuel bank see thread below, so definitely worth checking.
Although it's probably worth getting it scanned by BMW or an Indy who has the correct diagnostic tool, that will save time and money, at least that way you should have the answer rather than trying different things which can be more costly.

Had the same problem with mine, bmw changed an injector, plug and cap. All good now. However they scanned it and said it was ok, I insisted that they kept it for a check and got the senior technician to take it out, and all of a sudden it had a problem. Lots of threads on US sites about injector problems, and they are not cheap.
