Thing is, I've hardly read of any of the M235 OEM CPs breaking. They almost all seem to be for the N54/N55 1, 3, and 4 series. I've read of two people on this forum noting the CP blowing off, but both cars were pushing significant boost (20+psi) and one car was being raced on road course event in the heat when the CP popped off. No one has reported an OEM CP on M235 actually breaking and I have yet to read one case of a CP blowing off on a stock tune M235.

The F30 3/4 series seem to have way more CPs popping off and breaking, some stock and many modified cars. Apparently the CP on those cars is slightly different and weaker in design around the throttle body flange.
Maybe cuz most people here replace their co before it blowsv
