His was covered by warranty and he still has the car and everything is good. Engines do fail no matter how good they are or who builds them, but in a generally speaking sort of way, failures due to defects usually show up early in an engines' life!
If it's a manufacturing defect,there's no given time or mileage when the part causing the failure will go. Like with the n54 hpfp some were able to last 60k miles on a 07 335i and others cars went through 3 pumps in 20k miles.
