Question N57D30 Engine

Hi,

I have just placed an order for a new 530d (expected delivery in may)...

I have been plagued (like so many) with repeted HPFP failures on my current E60. This is one big reason for the switch from gasoline to diesel. I was under the impression that BMWs diesel engines where/are more reliable than their petrol counterparts...

Until I read up on some threads on the Internet like this one:
http://www.bmwland.co.uk/forums/view...p?f=17&t=80648

Does someone have technical insight into the N57D30 engine? Is it plagued with the same design problems like earlier diesels??

Does BMW have any engine that is reliable?
I just wanna enjoy my ride...not bang my head against "Engine malfunction, reduced power messages.." all the time.

Regards
