Well i got some injectors from the local junkyard for $160.
Replaced all 6 injectors it was way easier then i hoped it would be. Only tools required were a 10 mm socket with 4 inch extention and wrench, small regular screw driver, and needle nose pliers.
Since I didn't look at the diy the job took me a total of 1 hour 45 mins mainly because of the cold but the torque specs on the fuel rail bolts are horribly inaccurate and one of the injectors wouldn't line up right.
Turns out if i tighten fuel rail bolts to specs 3 of the injectors leak but if i loosen them a little bit there is no problem.
Result is a non leaking x5 that runs a bit smoother.
I was planning to get rid of it right away but i may keep it till spring. Since the local junkyard has an x5 with low miles that has rearend damage and i can get most of the parts for next to nothing if i don't call and talk to the guys wife.
