Only if injector has to be rotated in fitted position

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.

Release bolt a few turns until holding-down element (3) is slackened.
Turn injector (1) in direction of arrow until union nuts (2) on pressure line can be easily screwed on by hand.
To do so, engage wrench on hexagon head of injector if necessary.
Tighten union nuts on pressure line handtight.
