I have read through SO many threads pertaining to problems with this car and it seemed like every time I read the word injector in a post, they were saying that they had "Their injectors replaced." So I had it stuck in my head that they would always replace all of them if they got in there.
Then, this guy calls me and says he is replacing only two. I'm glad because injectors are about 150 Euro a piece here and I don't want to spend that much right now...but I was still wondering if this is normal.
If replacing only two fixes my car, then Thank God. I can pay the damn 1000 Euro for now and then ship it off and then it's back under warranty...

Sorry didnt realize you werent at a dealer. I didnt say you were blaming anyone. Im just saying in general. Sometimes people only get 1 or 2 injectors replaced by the dealer and they complain about them. Its actually BMWs choice on what injectors get replaced.
Lets say you have a misfire on cyls 1 and 2. BMW may only want you do replace those 2 injectors, or just the injectors on that bank which would be 1, 2 and 3. If you had misfires on cylinders 1 and 5. BMW may have you replace all 6 injectors. Like I said, it all depends on what software level the car has, what part # injectors are currently in the car and what cylinders are actually misfiring as to which/ how many injectors get replaced. If the car has the newest injectors in it, BMW would only replace the injectors that have that cyl misfiring. In your case its different since you are not at the dealer. How many miles on your car and why didnt you bring it to the dealer?
