True when I was about to order 1 injector after checking and speaking to the warranty company with the tech bulletin to hand 3 were authorised without question and therefore ordered, the parts department at my local dealership after I'd checked the BMW tech bulletin weren't aware of this and to be 100% went off confirmed that if one injector goes down you replace the other 2 on bank 1 or 2 to match as per bulletin, then code accordingly otherwise there will be issues that you'll be chasing until you discover the invertible.
