How does BMW stay in business?

Let me start by saying I absolutely love my 08 E90 335i and its been a surprising vehicle to many... That being said I was changing my spark plugs last weekend and noticed my #3 cylinder spark plug was soaking wet... Concerned that it may be due to bad rings I complete a compression test on my motor only to come back with 150 PSI +/- 1% across all 6 cylinders. Now that my heart was back to normal I check my injector part numbers... Cylinders 1,3,5 had part # 13537565138-xx They were 1-7. and the other three were 13537585281... Now here is the shitty part. I know the injector on #3 is bad because it is leaking fuel on my plug not to mention Part #13537565138-xx has a no shit recall on it. I call the BMW Seattle service department and they tell me to go pound sand as the car was checked in 2011 with no issues. Last time I checked if you have a part with a recalled part number that fucking part should get replaced. So here is the really fucking neat part. Since I have the old unrevised injectors I can not simply buy a new revised injector @ $214 I have to buy a whole set of 6 because the new injector will not be compatible with 5 of the old. I am royally pissed off and I am at a loss.
