BMW 5 Hybrid Engine Issues, Multiple Symptoms Crisis

Hi there! I have some experience working on cars and went through something very similar with my 2021 BMW 3 Series Hybrid. The symptoms you're describing sound exactly like what I experienced. Had to take my car to the workshop after dealing with the same issues, rough idle, power loss, and that annoying check engine light. Turned out to be a faulty injector. The repair job set me back about 515 Euro, but it solved all those problems completely. What's your exact model and mileage? This info would help me share more relevant details about my experience. The 5 Series and 3 Series share quite a few components in their fuel systems, so I might be able to give you more specific advice. Quick tip: Don't wait too long to get it checked. These symptoms can lead to bigger issues if left unaddressed. Let me know the details, and I'll try to help further!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I've got the 2023 BMW 5 Series Hybrid with 85777 KM. Just had the service done recently too. Your situation does sound really similar to what I'm experiencing. Good to know about the injector, that's definitely something I'll mention when I take it in. Did you notice any warning messages on the dashboard besides the check engine light before getting it fixed? Mine's showing a few different ones and I'm trying to connect the dots before heading to the workshop.

Hey again! Yeah, I totally understand what you're going through, my 2021 BMW 3 Series had multiple warning messages pop up too. Besides the check engine light, I got warnings about reduced power mode and emissions system issues. The weird thing was, these messages would sometimes come and go, which made it even more confusing. My car had around 78000 KM when these issues started, pretty close to your mileage actually. What really caught my attention was how the problem got worse during acceleration, exactly like what you're describing. The jerking was particularly bad when the engine was cold. When they diagnosed my car, they found that the injector wasn't just faulty, it was actually causing uneven fuel distribution, which explained all those symptoms. The interesting part is that the recent service didn't catch this issue on my car either, as it wasn't showing obvious signs during regular checks. One thing I learned from this experience, if you're getting multiple warning messages along with those driveability issues, it's usually connected to a single root cause. Have you noticed if the problems are worse at any particular time, like during cold starts or when the engine's warm?

Thanks so much for the detailed info! That's super helpful to know about the multiple warnings being connected to one issue. And yes, actually, now that you mention it, the problems are definitely worse during cold starts. It's particularly bad in the morning when I first start up the car. After hearing about your experience, I'm pretty convinced it could be injector-related too. Going to book it in at the workshop tomorrow and specifically mention the injector symptoms you described. The similarity in mileage and symptoms is too close to ignore. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it's given me a much clearer direction on what to look into. I'll definitely make sure they check the fuel distribution system thoroughly. Thanks again for the help!
