If you can point me to posts involving stock configs I’ll check them out.

The N54 & N55 have always had a risk due to it mounting to the front intercooler and the intake (intercooler is fixed, engine rocks under load).
Its most likely directly related to how quickly the engine snaps to one side when you accelerate. Adding mods/tunes just increases the risk.
That being said, I had a Dinan S2 tune on my 2008 BMW, drove it for 8 years, and had no issues. But then I wasn't as hard on it from a dead stop, so it probably has a lot to do with driving style as well.
