Other than BMW diagnostics, I don't know a programme. But the classic symptom of leaking injectors is problems on cold start-up. Engine coughs and hesitates for a few seconds while the excess fuel that's leaked into the cylinder overnight is burned off. You can also pull the spark plugs after the engine has been off overnight. The leaking injectors can be identified by those plugs that are found to be wet with fuel. As the plugs are very close to the injectors in the cylinder head, the leaking fuel drips onto them.

By the way, if you are replacing piezo injectors, at least renew all those in a bank (cylinders 1-3 or 4-6) rather than just one. And buy the latest revsion of injector avialable

Hope that helps...

EDIT - I see you have a four cylinder diesel, so ignore comment about six cylinders!
