I was having some HPFP issues (specifically a long crank) 2 weeks ago and I took my car in for service. They said my build date (Oct. 2008 build of 2009 335i) doesn't qualify for a HPFP replacement so they just reprogrammed the car. Today, less than a week after I got the car back, the long crank is back (although not as bad as before) and my car has practically no power. When I press the accelerator all the way (floor it), the car barely picks up and definitely doesn't downshift. Even when I manually downshift, the power simply isn't there.

Is this what people are referring to as "limp mode"? Have others had a similar symptom on their N54s? My dealer is closed today but I plan to take it in tomorrow. Just want to be as prepared as possible since, in their minds, they've "fixed" the issue already.

Thanks!!
