Can a clogged fuel injector cause engine sputtering in a BMW 2 Series?

I recently noticed my BMW 220i hesitating at low RPMs. A local mechanic said it might be due to a dirty injector. Is injector clogging a common issue in Pakistan due to fuel impurities?

Yes. Clogged injectors can disrupt fuel atomization, especially in turbocharged engines. Symptoms include:

Poor idle

Sputtering at low RPM

Loss of power under load

In Pakistan, unfiltered petrol with particles and water accelerates clogging. Solutions:

Use injector cleaners every 5,000–8,000 km

Clean o r replace injectors every 40,000–50,000 km

Always use fuel from trusted stations
