F10 reliability

Hi all,

I currently own an E60 M5 (9k miles on rebuilt engine), but I am looking to make the move into an F10. I am a bit concerned about the reliability, some posts say that a tune could likely result in a bent rod, or other such failure. It seems a bit odd to me as there are a few M5's on stock internals running 800 plus bhp in the UK, with one of them running 1000bhp.

I know the E60 raised the bar with reliability issues, but am I in for a world of pain with an F10 M5? I'd be looking at pre lci cars mainly, as low miles as possible, dct (we didn't get the manual) and no warranty as I'd not be buying from BMW.

I was planning on changing the injectors and rod bearings as a precaution anyway, but is there anything else I should be concerned about?
