^^I just don't think so and I think you just contradicted yourself with your statement.

"There may not be a fix...but its possible the combination of new software and the newer pump will delay the failure."

^^^I don't get that at all. And it seems that it is something much more serious than any software only or along with any of the pumps built so far will permanently fix anything. It seems it is almost certain that something else is causing the problem with all the multiple failures.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited this is hopefully making some progress. I'm not even concerned about the value going down. I plan on keeping my car a long time unless I start having a lot of problems and I haven't so far other than a couple small things and I had my LPFP replaced. I am one of the fortunate ones so far with almost 40K on original pump (I think I am getting closer and closer to jinxing myself). But I think I've read every post about it. And just like all the other posters in this thread that have read everything about this and been keeping up with it....this is nothing new. And it's not even a recall!!! It's just more of the same BS.

This is getting so damn frustrating that BMW will not just get some damn engineers together and admit this is a serious problem that they need to figure out what the ACTUAL problem is and fix it for christ's sake.

I've said this before..that there is a guy here in Germany that works for BMW (Mechanic)..and has for some 25 years. He draws diagrams of what he thinks is causing this. He thinks that essentially, they could just produce a BIGGER pump and it wouldn't fail.
