Thanks for sharing your experience! My X2 does have a rough idle too, especially when I first start it up in the morning. I'm at 43363 KM and just had my service three weeks ago, which makes this even more frustrating. You mentioning the fuel injector issue is really helpful, I've also noticed my fuel consumption has gone up lately, so that could definitely be related. Good point about not waiting too long. Think I'll book it in for next week rather than risk making things worse. Appreciate the heads up on the potential cost too, helps me know what to expect.
Hey again! Yeah, those symptoms you're describing, especially the rough morning idle and increased fuel consumption, are exactly what I experienced with my injector problem. And wow, only three weeks after a service? That's really frustrating, I feel you! Just to share a bit more from my experience, when I first noticed these issues on my X1, I initially thought maybe it was just bad fuel or something minor. But the problem kept getting worse, and I'm actually glad I didn't wait longer to get it fixed. The mechanic told me that a faulty injector can mess with your fuel-air mixture and potentially damage your catalytic converter if left unchecked, which would've been way more expensive to fix. Since you're at 43K km, it's about the same mileage where I had my injector issues. After getting it fixed, the difference was like night and day, no more jerking, smooth acceleration, and my fuel economy went back to normal. Let us know how it goes after you get it checked out. Would be interesting to see if it's the same issue. My money's still on the injector, but BMWs can be tricky sometimes!
Thanks so much for the detailed follow-up! It's really reassuring to hear your experience was so similar, especially with the mileage matching up. You've definitely convinced me about the fuel injector theory, all the symptoms align perfectly. I've actually just booked it in for Tuesday next week. Called my usual workshop and mentioned the fuel injector possibility, and they agreed it sounds likely based on the symptoms. I'm hoping it'll be a straightforward fix like yours was. The thought of potential catalytic converter damage honestly scared me a bit, definitely glad I didn't put this off any longer! Really appreciate you taking the time to share all this info. I'll update the thread once I get the diagnosis and repair done. Fingers crossed it's just the injector and nothing more serious!
Hey there! I'm a BMW owner with some experience working on cars. I had a similar issue with my 2021 BMW X1 (also had an X3 before). The symptoms you're describing sound exactly like what I went through, jerky acceleration, misfires, and that dreaded check engine light. Took it to my trusted workshop and turns out one of the fuel injectors was faulty. Had to get it replaced, set me back about 515 Euro, but the car's been running smooth as silk since then. Just curious, have you noticed any other symptoms? Like rough idling or increased fuel consumption? Also, what's your mileage? This info would help confirm if we're dealing with the same issue. Word of advice: don't wait too long to get it checked. Running with a bad injector can cause more problems down the line.
