Hi Nick thank you for the time and effort with the technical articles.
I'd like to point out that there could be DEBRIS AROUND THE INJECTORS. I saw the debris around valve cover but not under the injector/fuel rail assembly.For some reason my 2005 Mini Cooper S R53 had some small sand particles and/or really small rocks mixed with oily powdery grit. Guess it came through the intercooler. I'm the second owner and only has 55k miles. Ended getting some on the valves and am so scared it will do major damage to my engine. From your experience what do you think?

I can't see that large of debris getting past the air filter. Unless it wasn't seated correctly. If you get it out, it may be ok. Hard to say if it did any damage.
