I’m not certain to be honest — mine happened with less than 1K on the clock on my previous brand new M5. Cruising at about 90, lost all fuel delivery, electronics, and power steering out of nowhere while coming around a dangerous blind curve on a major highway with no shoulder. Was stopped in the far right lane for a few minutes until the car restarted in limp mode.
Anecdotally I can tell you that I’ve seen more than a few on here needing replacement, but I want to say they were more LPFP than HPFP (which was my issue). But it’s nowhere near the level of say, the coolant expansion tank (which, remarkably, I haven’t had to deal with on either of my M5s some how).
