For anyone here wanting to do this, please do NOT use Pen caps!! You will cause so many issues down the line with the seals. Even if you have to buy the tools and return them, you're going to kill your engine. People on the E90 forums have complained that this has killed their engine as the seal was not properly on there. 116$ for the tools, 75$ used sounds a lot better than buying a whole new engine or repairing your newly melted head.

You failed to mention the importance of how the hold down brackets are orientated when re-installing. They are pre-bent and act as a spring loaded device to soften the impact from the combustion process along with the decoupler rings. If installed upside down, they don't function in that manner and can cause wear in the head bore where the injector fits into, eventually enlarging it, usually into an oval, and cause compression leaks and misfires. If left unchecked and installed wrong, it can, and will, ruin the head.

Look into a BMW 128i 6MT, if the 135i is too much for insurance. Should be cheaper than a twin turbo rwd coupe lol. Theyre fun and light cars. Plus with a few mods and the oem 330i 3-Stage Intake Manifold, and a tune you'll be t about 300HP crank HP. With a great sounding, quick revving, amd extremely responsive engine in a great chassis. The 128i & 135i share the same chassis and lotss of other parts. They will both handle amazing with the proper mods. For example, a 328i is 230hp, a 330i is 255hp stock, and a 335i is 300hp stock. But a 128i is also 300-400lbs lighter than a 335i. Plus youd be rocking the last, most advanced (Full-VANOS), Naturally Aspirated Inline-6 BMW made after the E46 M3's motor.

The spark plugs you replaced with should have been 3 prong Bosch. They were updated from one to three prongs. Great Video. Just replaced my son's e60 with brand new index 12, spark plugs and walnut blast. The car has gained noticeable power gain in all range. Big difference...

I believe he's using gapped colder plugs maybe one step or two step colder. I use two step colder ngk on mine and they are 1 prung which is what's use on these cars when running higher power. The stock ones miss fire at high power.

RJ is correct, I'm using gappable 1 prong plugs. The Bosch 3 prong plugs are OEM, not the best for modified BMWs. Once you start modding, you want the NGK 1 prong plugs to adjust the gap and heat level. But if you're stock, the Bosch 3 prong plugs are fine. Walnut blast is another great maintenance item, glad to hear your son's E60 is feeling much better!

Hey Bro, when you change coils, injectors, and plugs, you really should clear all adaptations so that the DME can restart the fuel settings. Don’t forget to reset throttle pedal throw after you clear all adaptations. This will force a quicker learn than just driving around for 100 miles and letting it smooth out. Peace.

I've also never reset adaptations for these maintenance items. However, I don't think it would hurt anything by doing so. If you're troubleshooting issues, it's a good idea to reset adaptations. Otherwise if you're just doing maintenance, I think it's not needed.

Good video, I got answer how to code the injectors by protool

Good video Having refurbished and tested dozens of sets of these Injectors,testing the spray patterns,piezo stack integrity and leak testing at 205 bar,the biggest problem with these Injectors is fuel separation that causes the Injector to get sticky and fall out of its original calibration.The fact that you mentioned the symptom got worse in the cold,,points towards the direction of the waxes,varnish and olefiifins that forms during the continuous stop start and heat soak that percolates the fuel and causes the issue in the 1st place.This occurs in any of the index #'s including 12's.

Pro Tool is AMAZING! I bought it and have never used INPA since. Jake's channel is the best N54 or should I say was when he was making content. Unfortunately he's obviously too busy doing other things in his life these days to make much content. I can't blame him if it makes him happy but it's a big loss for the rest of us. Sad face here. I am now watching "Zero to 60" to scratch that N54 itch LOL. But love Jake still! I was hoping the he was going to tell us some way of buying injectors of much cheaper than they are. But he's showing how to DIY to save the cash of getting someone else to do it. Which is great advice and he does a super job as usual. But I was hoping..... LOL.

The injector brackets that have a E10 bolt is 115inlbs/13nm/10ftlbs fyi.

Great advice! Went stage 2 and it seems like 5 out of the 6 injectors started to leak. I'm probably going to go 1 bank used 1 bank new. Are the used ones still doing alright?

Also the correct way is to pull the fuel pump fuse and run the car until it shuts off, then start it a few more times until it won’t run anymore. Never take chances with high pressure lines

Great video . 👏🏼 can you please let me know why do we have to decoding injectors . What will happens if the mechanic didn’t code my injector ? Thanks a lot

Hi Jake! what is your experience with these injectors after 2 years?

A word of advice to anyone, make sure you don’t strip out the bolt that holds that bracket down. The tech that did my injectors must have stripped it and when I overboosted over 30 psi it blew those 2 injectors out. Luckily I was able to tap a larger size thread on the head and tighten the bracket back down with a larger bolt.

Alex Feole just took it to my local BMW shop. Great people, very knowledgeable about 335’s. They said my p112f code was old and only happened once. Likely due to a boost leak. They smoke tested it and found no significant leak and confirmed I probably don’t have injector issues and was mostly likely due to bad e85 and carbon build up. Cylinder 6 is notorious for carbon build up. They recommend a walnut blasting if you are having consistent cylinder 6 misfires. Make sure to swap coils and sparks to make sure it isn’t an ignition issue.
