BMW 7 Series: Checking Fuel Delivery Pressure (N20, N53, N54, N55, N63, N74)
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.
NOTE: Remove circlip (1).
Unlock and detach fuel line (2) to fuel tank from fuel line (2) to high pressure pump.

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.
