BMW Additive

Hi all, I have a 640D and wanted to ask if anyone else is considering using any additives to clean the fuel system or injectors etc

I have used additives in all my previous cars but not yet on my 6 series. Instead I have just stuck to Shell V Power diesel.

I contacted my local BMW dealer who said they don't stock any additive and do not make any recommendations however just suggested to use a branded additive.

Threw some redex in mine just the last month actually, no real noticeable difference, but like you i would generally put this in most of my cars every year or so.

Pretty sure everything I've read about these says they're useless in most engines.
