i was wondering if anyone has used this in their bimmers and what they thought.. i hear nothing but good things from this product. i was wondering if this would help clean out the fuel injection. thanks for the help.

I've never used Lucas fuel treatment but I did just go through a tank of fuel treated with Seafoam engine treatment and I also added the seafoam to my oil. I can't tell if it's doing anything in the oil, but after running through the tank with the treatment it did manage to cure my rough idle! I was very happy about this as I did not expect it to work, but it did. I got the Seafoam from http://www.midwayautosupply.com They also have tons of other treatments there too. Good selection and very fast shipping.

I have not, but I have heard of, used and highly recommend Redline's Si-1 injector cleaner. This product was recommended to me by a BMW sales person (past CCA Chapter President and BMW CCA Performance Driving Instructor), and a BMW Speciality Garage owner (CCA Omsbudman, ICSCCA, SCCA race driver, and a CCA Performance Driving Instructor).

Oil treatments do more harm than good (www.bobistheoilguy.com). Fuel system treatments are usually good for your fuel system. Having your injectors clean no only helps out idles, but fuel economy as well.

i personally use chevron fuel. they also make fuel injection cleaner, and well as engine treatments formulas, and they work VERY well. Cheap too, >$5.

I run some injector cleaner every 5K miles or so.......actually, need to get some tomorrow, had a pretty rough idle when it started today, need to throw in some 93 octane as well. Normally I run Special instead of Premium. Chevron injector cleaner works well for me, mechanics have a nice can they hook up to the fuel line that burns all the crap out of the injectors, not cheap if I remember, about 60-70 bucks, have not done that on the BMW yet, but the car has 70K miles on it, might do that after I change my plugs soon.
