Sorry I can't provide a pin diagram but there is only two reasons why an injector might be permanently open - either it permanently has a supply and a ground or it has suffered mechanical damage (grit, dirt or salt ingress for instance).
Checking for current across the injector terminals with a test lamp or noid light would be the quickest method to begin.
If the test lamp lights and/or the injector closes when disconnected there is either a wiring fault or an ECU fault. I think when you study the wiring diagram you will discover the injectors have a permanent supply and the ECU provides the ground path so if a wire chafes and contacts engine or body metal between the injector and ECU, the injector will remain open.
wiring harness can be over $2k, the labour is high. i would question the reasoning behind this. i lost a wring harness on a 99M3 because the ECU blew, because the ecu gets wet on bmw and malfunctions...
on your car i dont' know. check the condition of the ecu and see if is has corroded because water is getting into the compartment.
TW: i got a $2500 wiring harness on ebay for $50 and a replacement ecu for $100
cost me $500 in labour and another tow to bmw and $100 for them to program the new cu to my ignition key. from BMW, yes this would be pricy.
