Replacing Injectors and Fuel Tank Breather Valve BMW M3 E90 E92 E93 Step By Step DIY

2009 BMW M3 with S65 V8 engine. Today I am replacing the injectors and the fuel tank breather valve to fix my rough idle after filling up. This video also covers how to remove the intake plenum for the e9x M3.
Since I am at 107k miles, I wanted to swap the injectors to reduce the risk of catastrophic engine failure due to hydro lock. The fuel injector can get stuck open and flood the engine.

Love the intro Sal, great video!

[@Sals_Garage]

Hey! Thanks a lot man!

[@drifter2090]

Thanks for the video! I did it without removing the main fuel line, you can just remove the 4 bolts and flip the rail upside down and replace each injector (make sure you put something underneath so fuel doesn't get on anything)

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks for sharing. That makes it a lot easier because that main fuel line is tough to disconnect

[@drifter2090]

@@Sals_Garage for sure! Thanks again for the video, helped a lot

[@Sals_Garage]

@@drifter2090 thanks for letting me know that! Glad to help! 😊

Thanks for sharing this Bro 👍🏽💯 I'm replacing my FTBV and ran into the same issue removing the rear hose, and with 164k miles I'm replacing that hose too.

[@Sals_Garage]

Glad to help! Good luck bro

Nice vid thank you I will do it myself soon on my M3 E92 👌👍

[@Sals_Garage]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes for you.

Looks pretty fun to work on actually lol

[@Sals_Garage]

Yea! Those 8 individual throttle bodies are so nice to look at lol

[@kid2519]

Looks fun working on your own car! Thinking of purchasing M3 V8 one day!

[@Sals_Garage]

It is fun, and saves me a lot of money too! Yes the V8 M3 would be a great collectors car to own especially with car manufacturers switching to electric vehicles.

[@donovananderson396]

Sal did you just pull the electrical clip off? I’m scared to try to pry the clip off and it ends up in my neighbors yard.

[@willjames618]

Yep! My engine to my e92 m3 hydro locked and got scored due to fuel injectors being open. Great info, I would add to replace your fuel pump as well. I’ve heard the reason the fuel injectors get stuck is due to the corrosion or dirt coming from the fuel pump

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks for the comment. I'll look into changing the fuel filter as well. 👍

[@johnhanson9245]

How many miles on your M3 when the injectors went bad?

[@allanjr2842]

@@johnhanson9245 same question

[@jameswatkins29]

If orientation is a concern, I would replace them one at a time. Nice video//

[@Sals_Garage]

Thanks! The injectors came as a set so might as well replace them all together.

[@TheWarewolf79]

Nice video as always Sal...Did you also consider replacing the ICV while you were replacing your FBV? Cheers.

[@Sals_Garage]

I didn’t need to replace mine but I did clean it when I changed my starter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnuweoeto6t9l7c

Thanks Will! I appreciate it every time.

[@andy.bernard]

Gosh watching you mangle that breather valve was tough. Maybe I'm old fashioned but when I break something I can't half ass the repair anymore and buy whole new parts. In this case I would have bought a whole new hose assembly. Sucks for whoever has the car next and finds that, I know i'd be a little bugged with it because who knows what else was fixed with the same shortcuts.

[@Sals_Garage]

Understandable, for me I’m not planning to sell the car anyway so as long as the car runs healthy, that’s all that matters. It’s anyone’s decision to choose how to fix a brittle plastic part. Thanks for sharing.

[@BenjaminHirsch1]

Hey man, can you link me to the tool you used at 15:23 to disconnect the breather valve from the rear conenctor? this thing is a pain... (argh)

[@Sals_Garage]

Here you go: amzn.to/3IMM3j7 Good luck 👍

[@littleroller]

Just push in the rear hose into the breather valve and squeeze the connector on the two release points. Pushing in the hose is really the trick!

[@BenjaminHirsch1]

@@littleroller I think that was the step I was missing! Although it's been a while. Thanks for the response, good to know in case other folks need this too!

[@laykawest8674]

What’s up man .. how do you feel about fuel injector cleaner ? I was considering to give it a shot but just seen a post how someone maybe possibly used the cleaner in s65 and immediately had problems .. in forum some commenters were saying either caused a sticky injector or rb’s we’re on they way out due to him find glitter like substance in oil

[@Sals_Garage]

I think it’s better to just replace them if able. But cleaning them sounds better than sticking with old injectors. Good luck 👍

[@laykawest8674]

[@Sals_Garage]

[@chrismartignone8823]

What is the standard cc size of the injectors?

[@Sals_Garage]

They are EV14 injectors, flow rate at 3 bar/min N-Heptane: 192.9g

[@jandersoncastillo5208]

those injectors in your description real bmw oem ?

[@Sals_Garage]

They are not BMW brand, but they are OEM from Bosch.

[@schryvel]

@@Sals_Garage How have the Bosch injectors held up? I know they are labeled as OE, but the price difference between the genuine part and the Bosch labeled part is so extreme that it makes me wonder.

[@Sals_Garage]

@@schryvel Yea so far they are still working great without issues. Fingers crossed. The savings is worth it.

[@nton3351]

Hey! I have a problem with the smell of gasoline from under the hood. Has anyone else experienced this? Will replacing the fuel tank breather valve help?

[@Sals_Garage]

It may, but you might need to check all fuel line hoses and injectors for any leaking as well.

[@nton3351]

@@Sals_Garage Thanks!

[@Sals_Garage]

@@nton3351 anytime. Good luck 👍

[@donovananderson396]

Also could I just leave the rail on while removing the injectors?

[@Sals_Garage]

You can but some fuel might drip on the engine so have a towel handy

[@donovananderson396]

Did you just pulled out the connector with the metal clip attached? I noticed you use the pick tool to remove them on the E 85 video.
