I recently bought a 2016 M2 with 57k miles and decided to replace the stock plastic charge pipe, which is still in great shape. Per seller, he has not replaced it, so I’m assuming it’s an original pipe. When I removed the sensor from the charge pipe, I noticed a few small pieces of plastic stuck to it. No idea where they would’ve come from.

Should I be worried if any other small pieces have already been sucked into the engine?

Photos of the debris. They definitely felt like small pieces of plastic when I removed them.

Well, plastic is unlikely to be more than additional carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. The question is more where did said plastic fragments come from?

That’s what I’m curious about. Is it possible they may have come from a broken charge pipe? I know when they do crack, they do at the top of the pipe.
