Reading through non-bearing failures, injectors stuck open seems to occur more randomly than I previously thought, with a slight trend toward cylinder 6 and 7 but not a strong trend (BTW failure #88 on that list is a close friend of mine, if you had any follow up questions)
Either way, I am going to treat in-tank filter/pump and fuel injectors as just a 100k mile maintenance item, at least for me and my S65. Maybe unnecessary cost, but I didn't buy an M3 to be economical

Have now tallied the list of which injectors have failed (for the ones available), managed to add a few cyl numbers.
30 injector failures (of which 5 did not cause engine failures, see blown engine lists). Not all people noted cyl number.
Cyl No - quantity
1 - 2
2 - 3
3 - 1
4 - 1
5 - 2
6 - 4
7 - 6
8 - 4
There is indeed a bit of weighting towards cyls 6,7 & 8.
The
fuel inlet is between 6 & 7.
