Hey guys, I've purchased a 07 335i a few weeks ago, after abit of research my car has the dreaded n54 injector tick. I was wondering has anyone sucessfully gotten the "recall" within the last 2 years? I'm almost certain the car was never taken in for the campaign. Thought I'd ask here before I call up and get given some bullshit by bmw on why they cant do it.

I've done a pretty decent search through the forum and cant find too much info on it in Australia.

If not best place to get injectors?

Injector tick? Could be normal if you are not used to n54s

Would be best to get your codes read first prior to making such an expensive fix.

Mine had stuttering cold starts from a leaky injector, BMW Australia does not honour the recalls that occurred in the US so you will have to fork out the money yourself.

I sourced mine from rockauto:

BMW prices: ~$3000 for injectors
~$120 for decoupler units

RockAuto: ~$900 for injectors
get decouplers from BMW

Some people have hit and miss experiences with rockauto though, so do your due diligence.

i had two changed in 2012 under the recall and then changed other 4 under my extended warranty 2014.

You can call bmw and provide them with the vin # to see if there are any outstanding recalls on the vehicle.

A few years ago i heard of some guys getting free injectors here in australia back when i thought i was having injector issues but AFAIK there was no recall?

When i started a thread for injectors there was a link with a few guys who had got the recall by memory

my car was a bmw premium select vehicle, and of course my dealer said injectors werent covered they're a consumable component like brake pads... Those farkers will never see me again that's for sure

A campaign is something they are supposed to do when you bring the car in for other things (servicing etc) but a recall is much more serious where they ask owners to come in specifically for the fix. The latter is a much more public admission of guilt/oversight and is avoided whenever possible!

If you know someone who works there pass them your VIN and ask them to run it for you to see if any campaigns were performed on your vehicle or if any are outstanding.

My dealer's Master Tech confirmed that the ticking is normal for the N54s.
This was after all 6 injectors were replaced as well (as they leaked causing far worse problems!)
