Injector/Engine cleaner question

I was wondering what product people use for injector cleaner on the X5's. I am not sure if these products are even safe on BMW parts but I figured I would be a discussion point.

Some of the products i've heard people use:
- BG Products 44K Fuel System Injector Cleaner Additive Power Enhancer
- Chevron Pro-Gard Fuel Injector Cleaner With Techron Additive Injectors Gasoline
- good ol' seafoam

I've used Stabil, no problems here.

Actually was getting rough start up.. believed to be bad gasoline or water in the gas... The Stabil took care of it.. Not exactly injector cleaner, but same idea

I've actually seen my friend use the Stabil on his CBR600 before, I think he put a bottle before storing it or after he got it out of storage..it's been a few years, don't remember the process he did.
