Thinking there isn't a difference and actual failure of those parts is not the same. Question is if the m240's have these issues? I haven't seen much postings in that regard. So I'm interested if your post is just an opinion, or based upon fact?

I'm just about 10k (miles) on a 2020, so it's interesting to assume I'm 1/5 of the way through until serious maintenance...

I was thinking the same thing. Although I appreciate the insight, 60-70k miles for a water pump would be severe enough that I think bmw would have done a recall by now… otherwise my car is a ticking time bomb. I'd say he might be inflating it a bit but I'll still pay close attention to it from now on.
It's not that all will fail at 60-70k maybe 20-30%. But for $300 I rather not take a chance and get stranded

You might get to 100k with no issues. Charge pipes blow up all the time on the N55s and BMW never did any recall 🤷🏼*♂️
Also, since I plan on tuning the b58 in my car, would upgrading my charge pipe be wise? Which would you recommend?
