It's true, E9x with N54/N55 are quite rare in EU but he sells and provides service for a large number of 5 and 7 series fitted with these engines.
What I've noticed is that - when questioned - people with HPFP problems tend to recognize they don't use good quality gasoline or at least not all the time.
Pretty powerful statement....and you're in Massechusets right?
