As others have said, plenty of the oem Pierburg units around for £200 - £250. It’s an easy diy or an hour labour at a garage. Around 22% of users on here reported a failure in a survey of 100 or so responses.
The back top engine (N52K) typically found in 2007 models onwards apparently had a revised design but it’s not clear if the electronics were any different. They do still fail but perhaps not at the same rate.
