WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2014 BMW Alpina B7L, 2014 BMW Alpina B7, and 2013 BMW Alpina. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Necessary preliminary work:

Connect BMW diagnosis system.

IMPORTANT: Lines are under pressure!

Wear protective goggles and gloves.

Fuel can emerge spontaneously at high velocity when the fuel line is released!

Recycling:

Catch and dispose of escaping fuel with auxiliary materials.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.

Insert special tool 13 5 270 into disconnected fuel line.

Screw onto special tool 13 5 270, the special tool 11 4 310 .

Screw IMIB 100 bar pressure sensor (1) on the special tool 11 4 310 .

NOTE: As an alternative to the 100 bar IMIB pressure sensor (1), the 25 bar pressure sensor can also be used. For this, screw on special tool 11 5 364 instead of special tool 11 4 310 into special tool 13 5 270. Or directly screw the pressure manometer from the set of special tools 13 3 060 onto the special tool 13 5 270.

Establish fuel delivery pressure. Read off fuel delivery pressure on IMIB and compare with values in diagnosis system.
