ABS Braking System Failure and NEW hpfp failure 335i

Well my car freaked out again..... It's got 75000 miles and my SA ensured me it had the latest HPFP... Well here we go again.

Been getting slow starts and about 3 times it showed "Engine Malfunction. Reduced Power.......etc"

That was the "new and fixed" HPFP. SA said this is the first one of the new hpfp's he's seen fail. Oh great.

Ive been getting another strange warning light, ABS Braking System Malfunction. This turns off all DSC, start off brake (for manuals like mine), ABS etc. It's dangerous to drive but you don't can tell the difference until you need it of course.

Anyway, the failure is in the traction control / abs / dsc hydraulic pump which will run a nice $2400 for the new one. Also, a rear wheel bearing is bad and needs to be replaced. That bearing has speed sensors in it apparently.

Anyway, what in the world else could possibly break on this car?

Unrelated to all that, the passenger window safety thing needs adjusting because when closing the top, it goes up, then bumps right back down. Weird.
