Ok, so i just returned from the dealer......, DOES NOT ned injectors, but does need hpfp, which will be replaced today and i can get the car tomorrow.. good news...
BAD new = i asked him if this was going to be a reoccuring problem , he said... well bud, im prob gonna be seeing you again. AWESOME!!
i said anything i can do teo resolve this problem,, he said DRIVE the car the way its designed to be driven, he said drive it harder than you normally would to blow out the injectors,,,,,and make sure i run premium gas...
so thats the verdict.....
any opinions?

As to what he said, it is possible. I don't know what is killing the HPFP but I doubt clogged injectors are the root cause.
FYI, I do have skin in the game, since I've got a new Z4 35i, in addition to a 550i. Some folks on e89.zpost.com are reporting HPFP problems on brand new cars. I'm crossing my fingers on mine.
