About to do the injectors. If you can do the injectors yourself it’s around $850 for the injectors and $100 for injector removal tool. Plus your time.

Anyway, something I also did was replace the springs with the Eibach kit and the shocks with Bilstein B6’s. Totally transformed the handling. Still lacks steering feel, but man does it handle.

Change the oil/filter religiously at least every 5k miles. Once you drive the 50i there’s no going back to the 35i. At least there wasn’t for me.
Thank you for that amazing insight. Is this the first time the injectors are being changed? I’m a big DIY’er.
