Thats the thing, I have seen alot of 335i owners and even some 135i owners with cracked charge pipes at the flange..

Being that the 535i N55 charge pipe is different and even a different part #, im thinking it might have the same faith, as i search and really didnt find any guys with any 535i N55 failed/cracked charge piped, so wondering if there is any on this board?
The F10 has a completely different CP design? Interesting...

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen a lot of F10 CPs fail. But I guess we have a smaller data pool due to our demographic. Most F30 owners are probably younger and mod cars unlike F10 owners who are typically older in age.
