F20 / F30 N55 Charge Pipe Failures Have Already started! **Updated with Pics**
I wanted to let you guys know we have had our first N55 charge pipe failure. It seems the F-series N55 charge pipe will see the same failure rate as the E-series.
I was hoping the redesign would fix this weakness but does not look like the case. Inspect your charge pipes routinely and if tuned consider an upgraded charge pipe. Mike |

Any indication as to what mileage these are going at? Is there an after-market replacement or is the only option to buy a new, but flawed, BMW one?
