I have been having a slight misfire under boost (not enough to trigger a CEL) and a slight stumble at very low throttle while cruising for the past few weeks. Finally got to look at it and pulled he plugs to see what they look like...

Cyl 1,3,5 look fine
Cyl 2,4,6 are black and smell like fuel

What could cause a pattern like this? I'm find with replacing injectors, but I don't see how injectors could cause a pattern like this.

Picture of plugs attached and this order... 6-5-4-3-2-1.

If plugs are wet and smell like fuel its the Injectors

Yes, of course... but what could cause a pattern like this?

FYI, this was resolved with refurbished eBay injectors for the affected cylinders. All info in this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20826061

I have the same issue with #1 and #6. Got six new revision #12 injectors on order now. I looked at the refurbished injectors but based on the pictures given you would have to by the seal injection tool which compresses the O-rings before you put them in. I would get that clarified before I ordered refurbs.

I did not need the compression tool. Just installed them with the tiniest amount of lithium grease on the seal. They went in fine with a perfect seal. I've seen others do it this way with no issues was well.

Good to know. Better than buying a $200 BMW tool.
