Again, as I've said many times before, let's not make a risk assessment based on the problems experienced by a very few Z4 owners. If it was a widespread problem, like the HPFP, there'd be a recall. Yeah, it's scary that this stuff happens, but you have to respect the overwhelming number of cars that don't experience this same problem.
I remember reading a book called Rocket Men, about the birth of the space industry. They talked about how each rocket ship had something like 20 million parts and if you had merely a 1% failure rate, that's 20,000 parts that could fail. It puts things in perspective.
