Do e85 Z4s suffer from Rear Shock Tower failures?

Happy holidays everyone!

Just a quick question, do the e85 Z4s suffer from Rear shock Tower failures? I don't plan on tracking my car and it'll just be my daily driver with the occasional spirited runs.

My previous car was an e36 M3 and they were known for RST failures. I had shock tower reinforcements on mine and they still busted through the sheet metal after several years of regular driving. Needless to say it was an expensive repair and I would like to avoid that scenario.
