The car measures how much fuel by assuming 50.00 psi.
If its less, even if just under high throttle you'll get lean condition. Watch a graph of your O₂ precat and see if they go lean under heavy throttle that's a big clue.

In one of my posts I said I saw a "reset adaptations" somewhere in the service section, on my Foxwell 510, but was afraid to do it (it said reset ALL adaptations). Not knowing the full scope of adaptations involved, I didn't want to screw-up some other adaptation that was beneficial to the operation of the X5. I'll have to revisit the service section next week, after I return from my trip.
Once, I had trouble with my '04 2500 HD re-learning, after just fixing something or other (15 years ago, I can't remember what it was, but that it made the 120 mile round-trip commute very interesting the next morning/afternoon....)
Concerning fuel pressure, that could be why the P0313 code sometimes appears, along with P0171 & P0174.
P0313 is when the PCM has detected a misfire in one or more of the engine's cylinders along with a low fuel reading in the fuel tank. I've been meaning to get this one, which I believe has been recommended on this forum
As I stated above, I've been getting "lean codes that aren't MAF or vacuum leaks". Here's an O2 graph I made earlier;
does it show what you're talking about here?

I have no maintenance records for this X5, and the guy I got it from didn't touch the fuel system at all, focusing on (in order) cooling system, suspension, axles, exhaust, "cracked" windshield, & timing chain/guides (plus other stuff). He didn't know what the previous owner had done, except for screwing up the radio (though he had kept the high-mileage truck moderately well serviced, with 4 of 6 door locks OK, all windows & lights working, A/C perfect condition, etc.).
This nagging problem is something that appeared 5 months into my ownership, but not prior. It may just be as you say, time for the FPR to get weak.
