How many F10 N55 owners had a charge pipe cracks?
I haven't heard or seen of many N55 owners with cracked charge pipes, so was wondering how common it was on the F10..
If so, miles and year of F10 N55.

N54tech should have plenty of reviews of N55 owners cracking their CPs. I think it's worth the $200-$300 upgrade for peace of mind.

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?

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. |

That made me chuckle when I replaced my chargepipe. Here I was thinking that the plastic might crack under pressure, but the chargepipe is connected to another pipe and with a rubber boot. And the metal chargepipe is now connected with a rubber boot. Which makes me wonder... if there is so much pressure to crack the plastic CP, why wouldn't it blow the rubber connection too? Thus, now making the rubber boot connector the weak link?

Bump...I'm still interested in who's had their F10 N55 charge pipe crack. It's all over the F30 boards so I can only imagine it's happened here too

Perhaps a stupid question... but how do you know if you've blown your charge pipe?

It doesn't make any sense either. My theory is that the sealant that holds that sensor slot to the charge pipe eventually gave out. The car has been in SoCal all its life so it's not like there are intense weather conditions. Either way, I guess I should be happy that it's a clean break
