2013 BMW 535i v6 Only 60,000 miles Code: Cylinder 6 miss fire I installed a new spark plug in cylinder 6 and swapped Coil and spark plug 6 with Coil 1. Deleted codes: but continued to run rough for 2 days. Then engine light came back on and again code "miss fire on Cylinder 6. I took out cylinder 6 fuel injector but the seal at the bottom of the injector was missing. It was probably on it but slipped off during removal. So the question is can i replace just one fuel injector? And if so if that does not fix it what do i try next. Thanks

The injector missing the cup or o ring will cause a vacuum leak and will give us a misfire for sure ,when you clear it might take few miles until the computer can not adjust A/F ratio anymore when it passes 25% adj and check engine light will come on and set code

 

and yes buy a new injector or they sell the o-rings and seal as a kit if you do not won't to repalce injector most likely injector still good
