Default 525d starting on 5 cylinders

I have a 2006 2.5 525d which a couple of days for the last week has started first time of the day on 5 cylinders for no more than a minute. Then its perfect all day.
Its not losing water,its not smoking and its only done 72,000 miles

Any ideas guys?

Had it in at local indipendant and it wouldn't start at all
He reckoned it had no fuel pressure at all,telling me that its probably an injector going down and wants £45 each to check them plus strip and rebuild!
