3) I think I may have had a VANOS solenoid replaced somewhere along but I honestly don't recall.
Non-failure replacements:
1) 1st HPFP replaced under warranty at around 30k due to mandatory recall/service bulletin. Nothing was wrong with the original one. BMW just mandated the replacement when I brought my car in for servicing.
2) 2nd HPFP (new model) installed at my cost since it was required in order to get the new 37.2 DME software which I needed to test. Nothing was wrong with my previous pump.
For all I know my original pump might have still lasted me up to now.

Interesting. IMO, you have a 50/50 shot. Some of us have little if any mechanical problems (tuned or stock) and others have everything that could go wrong happen to them.
