Just arrived at my hotel in Salinas, and will be driving on Laguna Seca tomorrow.
The pump got me here so it should be fine when I'm on the track tomorrow.

BTW, to answer the questions about my numerous pumps,

The first one was actually running fine but I went in for service and they said that it should be replaced since it will probably fail soon.
Once I got the second pump, that started with the long starts.

Thanks for the clarification!

This tells what to believe in BMW's preventive actions

Well got my car back this evening. It was only authorized for the software update, no pump and no injectors.

For reference I have a 2008 (9/2007 build) and it has never had anything replaced on the car.

Crazy I didn't even get the HPFP but I am keeping my fingers crossed that I just have some sort of phantom car that isn't going to run into this issue.

So are they replacing HPFP no matter what or updating software first to see if that cures the problem?

Good luck, hopefully everything is good with your car. I hate hearing about people having to have injectors and HPFP replaced. I hope this fuel pump surprises everyone and is a real fix.

Damn I just installed a 933 pump last week

335xiRT1 · 12-31-2010, 12:39 PM

Car at BMW now,
they changed out the pump, and injectors, and did a ecu update for the recall.

my warranty is expired so i brought the car in with all mods and meth installed no problems with dealer

Yes it is ... just they are thinking we all hide in our igloo till spring

ask your service manager he should know if recalls have started, mine told me not yet.

Duncanp64 · 12-31-2010, 01:32 PM

I just got the reduced power / check engine light on my n55... mine was built in September 2011... Hopefully it's not my pump

Can anyone post up the recall letter? Does it say injectors will be replaced too? Would appreciate some clarification on how injectors are involved...

Thanks for this info! I'm going to the stealership on friday, and I will be taking in this letter. It should help stop all their bull.

Yeah, they cant really deny you if its on recall.

There have been members asking if this letter has been sent out to Canada. I just received this letter in Canada, so I can confirm it is valid for Canada. Sucks because I just had this HPFP and my LPFP replaced in the summer for the 6th time, hopefully they fix this issue eventually.

I called the dealer and they said that injectors will be scanned to see if they are listed as the "bad" parts as well.

Car is an o7 335i coupe if it matters.

Hopefully this is lucky #7 all of this on a car that has the equialent of 25 000 miles

Does anyone here know what happens to the Dinan flash (cost wise) if you aren't able to go to a Dinan dealer and have to have the car reflashed due to this recall? Am I out the cost of the flash labor or will the other dealer (Dinan dealer) be able to reflash the car and charge BMW for it?

You'll have to get your car (or the ECU) to your local Dinan dealer. They will re-flash for free, or at least that's company policy down here in the country just south of yours.
