70k miles is pretty good for the stock charge pipe.
But overall nothing unexpected/major, just get an upgraded charge pipe and you are ready to go.

Yep, I wasn't too surprised. I'm still under CPO warranty, so I'll get it replaced that way.. planning to upgrade later on when I do the intercooler once the warranty runs out (if I make it that long). Fabspeed comes first though! Probably won't wait for the warranty to expire on that one.

With warranty then just get another plastic charge pipe, save that money for your down pipe or intercooler! Personally I'd go intercooler first just to keep those iats low and keep the engine happy.

Agreed, I definitely want to upgrade mine. Hate losing power in the warmer summer months here in TN!

Not sure what year the OP's M2 is but the factory replacement is a much better design

There was another thread discussing this new reinforced CP, apparently it can still break and there were photos from FB of an owner with this upgraded charge pipe having it break.
So again at best a temporary solution.

It was in the big charge pipe debate thread or reliability thread I can't remember exactly but if I find it I will link it. But yes I believe the car was stock.
The reinforcement was more on the flange area, it still won't protect from cracking that is common on the pipe body where it connects to the flange.
