Copy of the customer letter is shown in this bulletin.
CORRECTION
Check the injectors' production date/serial numbers (using the DMC scanner) and replace if required.
PROCEDURE
1. Using the workshop PC, from the CenterNet page open the ASAP Portal and then select "Service/Technic" and DMC Injector Check.
2. From the DMC Injector Check, select Start and then enter the last seven digits of the vehicle's VIN, the mileage, and then continue with Enter DMC Injectors. If the VIN is not found in the database (display shows: "Vehicle ID XXXXXXX not affected !"), no further action is required. Otherwise, proceed to step # 3.
3. Remove the engine's acoustic cover following REP11 00 "Remove and refit/replace ignition-coil cover (N54/N54T)".
4. Check each injector's part number and index number (indicated as # 1), which are located on the injectors' plastic housing facing the ignition coil.
5. IMPORTANT:
Injectors with P/N 13 53 7 585 261 04-08 index are not affected by this Service Action and should not be replaced.
Injectors with P/N index 13 53 7 537 317-xx or 13 53 7 565 138-01 up to 7 565 138-07 must be carefully removed in a sequential order (following REP13 53 310) and marked with the cylinder number.
6. Obtain the DMC (Data Matrix Code) scanner P/N 83 30 2 211 622, which has already been shipped to your center specifically for this Service Action (refer to tools SIB04 30 0).
IMPORTANT:
A limited quantity of subsidized scanners was sent to all BMW center primary locations. Distribution of the subsidized scanners is complete. Additional scanners may be purchased directly from Microscan (scanner manufacturer) by using one of the two methods listed below:
^ Follow this link and order by credit card.

D%20100G
Microscan's part number for the scanner is FIS-HS2D-0100G. The price is $475.00.
7. Prior to first usage, the DMC scanner needs to be configured:
Connect the scanner to the USB port of the workshop's PC. Using the attached configuration sheet; scan all 4 bar code symbols. Audible signals after each scanning would indicate correct readout of the scanner. Once successfully completed, configuration does not need to be repeated.
8. With the DMC scanner connected to the workshop PC, from the CenterNet page, open the ASAP Portal, and then select Service/Technic and DMC Injector Check.
9. From the DMC Injector Check, select Start and then enter the vehicle's last seven digits of the VIN, the mileage, and then continue with Enter DMC Injectors.
10. The injector's data code must be entered for all six cylinders in a sequential order (from cylinder 1 to 6).
For the injectors already removed, scan the rectangular bar code located in the upper left part of the plastic housing, next to the injectors' part number (indicated as # 2 in the illustration). The 34 or 36-digit line should appear in the corresponding cylinder's line.
If the displayed code shows "##########..," select Unreadable from the bottom menu bar and proceed to the next cylinder.
For the cylinders which did not require an injector removal per step 3 above, press Skip from the bottom menu bar and proceed to the next cylinder.
11. After all 6 cylinders' fields are filled out, continue with Check selected from the bottom menu bar.
12. Defective or "unreadable" injectors are going to be marked "Replace" (red field). Use P/N 13 53 7 585 261 for the replacement.
Injectors identified as "OK" (green field) should NOT be replaced, but they should be reinstalled into corresponding cylinders after replacement of the PTFE Sealing ring (P/N 13 53 7 584 315) and decoupling element (P/N 13 53 7 564 751), following REP 13 53 310.
13. After data matrix determination is completed, store the data by pressing "End (save data)", selected from the bottom menu bar.
14. Obtain the replacement injectors (P/N 13 53 7 585 261) from your parts department and register them back into the database. Press the "Replace defective injectors" button from the bottom menu bar and scan each new injector into the corresponding cylinder's field. After all new replacement injectors are registered (the data matrix code of replacement injectors is marked green), select "Save results" from the bottom menu bar.
Note:
Detailed description of the injectors' scanning and registering process can be found in DMC Injector Check/Manual Index Check from the ASAP Portal.
15. After installation, the new injectors must be calibrated using ISTA/D Service Functions as per REP13 53 310.
