I feel terrible for any person who owns a higher millage N63 out of warranty. Sure these motors produce great power and are fun to drive, but all this FI tech, combined with long OCIs and advanced electronics are killing the reliability/longevity of these engines.
EDIT: Where the hell was BMW with a Service bulletin like this for the N54s!?!?!?

That would be me, but I do all the maintenance myself. I have changed 4 injectors myself already (have the diag computer to do it). not so bad, but yes the tech is killing these cars.
I wrote to BMW Canada about this Campaign/TSB but they said there is nothing outstanding on my car. Seems like this is just in the US so far but i'm sure its coming up north soon. I hope!!
