I think that's pretty common from what I've read. If you do a search you might be able to find some good suggestions on how to repair it and/or avoid it in the first place.

would the brass fitting be better than the jb weld? the jb weld holds it fine but there is a boost leak there. everytime i step on it i hear the pressure being released from that area.

JB weld will break in a short matter of time and hello boost leak. Anyone who has any experience with BMW's know das German plastic is craputo. Nipples go all the time.

I did that as well installing the AA BOV. the best way to go about that is to use a box cutter blade and carefully slicing the oem vacuum hose that's fitted on the manifold. After a few slices with a fresh blade, you should be able to pull the hose right off.
So I took it to my friendly dealership, told them what happened, then paid for a new intake manifold and labor. Still kept my warranty as well. IMO, it's ultimately your car and you can do the brass fitting if you want. But it's a $40k car, so that's why I spent the extra $$ to have it fixed right. You live and you learn, it's just a part of tunning/modding cars. GL

Why would anyone ever touch the nipple on the Intake manifold? After all the different charge pipes i have installed i have not yet touched the vac line on the manifold side...

AA sucks at instructions then cause i just unplugged the vac line from the 3 way at the diverters and hooked it up to the BOV and Boost guage... Never need to touch the manifold side... Sorry for your troubles, i wish i could have helped you out before it got broken... AA should help people out with this since their instructions seem to be bullshish...
