Hi all. 2002 x5 e53 3.0 petrol. 
eml light came on and the wife says the car feels slower. 
when the car is idling, it seems to have a very slight misfire.

i put the small diagnostic reader on it and it came up with lean mix due to low fuel. I’ll rig the car up to the 1.4.0. Would it tell me which injector is playing up or is it best just to replace all 6? 
 

is it a straightforward job or a pain… simply because i have just had my gall bladder out! 
im supposed to rest up, but i have jobs that can be done for the next two weeks! 😂😂😂

      engine judder while idle

      Hi OK 101k is no great mileage so I would start by checking for any Air or Vacuum leaks on the inlet side initially. I would also check carefully the injector loom for any damge or cracking to the insulation. Go on line and get the test procedure for Injector loom and Injectors (test for resistance) Have the engine mounts been checked ? Snapon is normally OK but it depends on the model some older ones revert to Generic codes Dave
