On the flip side it's so easy to mod since it has forged internals, but there are highly suspected failure parts(ex. e9x throttle actuators will go at some point). 10-15k mile carbon cleaning is a pain. They did extend the warranty on the HPFP to 10 years. Waste gate rattles, vanos, leaky injectors are some things you can't control.
