I added it to the V28 software I have. I also substituted the icons with actual pics of my x5 shot from a birdeye view. The sky as you can see is custom too.

That is quite cool. I just upgraded my sw to V29.1. Can I still make the changes to the icons/sky ? Is it done totally via NavTweak?
Thank you

Do you just need the power enhancer? That is what I am seeing available on ebay? Or do you need the kit that has the intake cleaner and all? My 3.0 has about 35K miles on it but its an 03 and the 1st owner didnt drive it too much and now I drive it all the time in crazy stop and go traffic. Should I wait a bit to do this? Any recommendations would be great!! Also found that this subaru site carries a bunch of BG products...

At only 35k you're probably fine with just the New power enhancer and/or fuel system cleaner. Make sure the fuel system cleaner is the stuff that gets poured right into the fuel not the stuff that needs a BG tool to use. Power enhancer goes right into the fuel. Heres a better ebay link. You're spelling incorrectly in their search. It's BG 44k. There's a space.

Hi,
Is this BG44K also suitable for diesel engines?
Thanks

Yeah thats weird, thats what I had when I did my search in ebay and then when I copied the link it took the space away. Oh well. Thanks for the advice!

I bought a kit on ebay that hasen't arrived yet, but I was at the dealership today so I went to the parts dept just to see if they would sell me some and sure enough, they sold me the kit.....Just as I was leaving one of the mechanics walked up to me and asked with a nasty attitude "Do you have the tool required to put that in the throttle body?" I siad no, and he just huffed and walked away shaking his head. Now I read your post that says not to get the kind that requires a tool, but it is the only kind they had. And looks identical to pic of the can you posted. Are there two different kinds of Fuel injector cleaner and what is this tool he was referring to?

I did a little bit of research and it looks like BG only makes one fuel injection cleaner, part number 210. And it is meant to be used with the "BG 9210 Inject-A-Flush® Apparatus" . Which I don't have. I wonder If I will get any results by just dumping it in the tank?

Did you end up putting the cleaner in the tank, or did you use the apparatus? I am in the process of getting this pack, but if you need the tool, I don't know if I will get it.
But that pack (picture) in the beginning of this thread looked like it showed a separate can to spray. Then it had the injector cleaner and the enhancer. (3 cans total)
Maybe I am the only one, but I am confused if you put both in the tank, and there is a spray can for the MAF and ICV.

I also bought the three can kit from a local BMW dealership. One is sprayed into the air intake system, one is poured in the tank (44K), and the third is supposed to be injected into the throttle body with that funky tool (Fuel injection cleaner). I haven't done any of it yet because I am trying to find out if there will be any benefit to pouring the fuel injection cleaner in the tank instead of using the tool. I would think it will still help clean the injectors, just not at full strength. If not, I will just do the first two.
