Sigh. Glad you seem to be handling the proecss as best as can be done, give the distance and limitations
Personally I would not pay BMW retail prices for work then then comes with no warranty- seems a waste of money.
Just IMO

Sending them out for testing approaches $3000?!?!?!? IMO idiot or liar.
Id take it to a shop that can/will pull the injectors and send out for test/flush.
In terms of reliability.... there have been very few reports of this kind of issue in X5Ds. Plus yours may have been misfueled and dumped. I know, for YOU the experience is 'unreliable', and hearing of all the others with no issues does nothing to make you feel assured. Just more unlucky. (Kind of like when the doctor explains how incredibly RARE the cancer is.)
One tech question: what is the failure mode if an injector has been fouled with metal? I assume it leaks, or releases particles into the chamber? I cant see if releasing particles back into the fuel system. Hence why would they void the HPFR with an injector fouled? Admittedly I dont know much about this. Too bad they wont test them....
Hope it works out
