Getting tired of BMWs. Dealing with this is a PIA and now I found out my 2013 X5 needs a new engine (uses a quart of oil every 600 miles). These cars just seem too unreliable.

exhaust vanos replaced
new oem plugs
new oem coils
walnut blasting
compression check
swapped injectors with old injectors I had from other cars. made no difference swapping out 2 at a time.

Next
intake vanos replacement
Remove JB4 tune?
Replace precat 02 sensors?
Swap more injectors around or just buy a set?
I replaced all of the injectors with index 12 injectors and the car still misfires! I guess I will remove the jb4 and see if that could be causing it. then do O2 sensors next. After that.... off to the junk yard and I'm done with BMW. I'll go back to american made.
