What did you replace them with? Buana rubber gets brittle pretty quick in that environment, viton rubber holds up a lot better with the heat and fuel.

I'd change 'em all... If those two are shot, the rest are also - or they're not far behind.

Don't buy new ones from a BMW shop - get to a fuel injector shop. Much cheaper and probably newer.
