Only one of our m54 had an exhaust CPS fail and that was years after the intake so I would suspect intake first....

I had an exhaust CPS starting to give me intermittent faults, so I looked at FCP Euro $$$ and Amazon $ pricing, and decided to take a chance on a Vemo sensor, that was around $23 at the time. https://xoutpost.com/1222619-post4.html
As you can see from the above link, it was made in Germany by Vaico (whose parts I'd known of from working on cars at my master-mechanic, retired pro, friend's home shop...where we'd build race cars, and fix friend & family's vehicles). At $23, it was certainly worth taking a chance (though, if I was going to drive 1500 miles from home, maybe I'd have gone with an OEM part).
As-is, I've driven the X with the Vemo CPS for over 1000 miles, mainly on short jaunts of 10 miles or thereabouts, and thru uncounted start/stop cycles while fiddling around at home. It hasn't missed a beat!
