Origional Injectors - Highest Mileage

[LSM3]

I had mine done just recently at 86,000km.

My car has a build date right on 2014 and i was not sure if i needed EU5 or EU6 injectors. My mechanic used ISTA to determine she needed EU6.

While i was at it, i replace the coils and plugs as well as the injectors. She feels a lot more responsive now.

Will contemplate rod bearings at around 100,000km. I had the rod bearings changed in my charged E90 M3 at around 130,000km… they looked like they could have done another 100,000km. Its a small price to pay for peace of mind, though.

Now this is impressive

You have a 2013 f10 m5 right ?

2014 approaching 200K now.

There is a filter in the LPFP in the tank under the back seat, I had to replace it. There isn't a way to replace the filter only, I couldn't see any way to open the sealed pump. US model, built Oct 2012(2013 model).
It sucks to replace, I highly advise you run the car to almost empty unless you like your hands in gasoline for an hour or 2.
I couldn't see thru the gas in the filter as it was full of black crap. Probably what caused it to fail.

What on earth made BMW do that system only heaven knows.

To
a)make it a PITA so you'll take to dealer?
b)And/or make you buy the whole damn pump instead of a 10 dollar filter from a parts store?

What were your symptoms to know you needed to replace it?

[KurtsM5]

Car would spin over but not crank. Read it with a friend's Autel and it showed LPFP fault, low pressure to both HPFPs. Swapped it out while getting high on gas fumes(of course this happened right after I filled the car up ) And car ran fine. After I swapped it I was curious if the pump was clogged or dead so I applied 12V and ground to it and it wouldn't spin at all = dead.

Funny you mention this. All the 13s I see for sale are all higher miles. Doesn't seem like it matter's, all years blow up

You're talking rubbish, the only difference in LCI and pre-LCI injectors is in the spray pattern.
