For 2012, in the US, we will have Turbo I4 or N55. Which one is better in term of reliability? I am worried about HPFP failure.

I might have to get 535i because from my understanding N55 (which is similar to N54) has been around since 2007. I hope they will have figured out most of the bugs by 2012.

Let me know what you guys think?
The N20 (?) turbo 4 is essentiall an N55 with two cylinders lopped off to my understanding.
