Resistance across the injector pins should be apparently between 170K and 210K ohms. While mine measured 210Kohms, the resistance between one pin and ground was 5K. The other injectors measured higher than my meter could read.
Took off the intake and tried to remove injector #5. Of course it is seized. Soaked it down with a penetrating lube. Hopefully I can remove it in a couple days.
While I'm in there, the intake manifold (including flaps) will be cleaned. There is about 1mm of CBU. Not too shabby for an M57 at 90K miles.

You are resourceful, I like it!!!!
Most tools I've seen to remove the injector attach to the body of the injector by removing the solenoid. There's picture of homemade tools that go this route and you can get crafty. Alternatively, they have them on ebay and you'd still be ahead than paying someone to do it. You could also try to crank the engine over with all the injectors disconnected and see if compression pops it out...
You may know, but the new injector will have to be coded. The car is derivable but it may throw a code either immediately or as it tried to run the zero quantity adaptation. If you don't have the tool to code it yourself, take a picture of the injector labeling and/or write it down so you can give it to the technician
