Encouraging indeed. Keep us posted of the process. Thanks.

Seems like its now around 74% who don't have their fuel pump fail, so it looks more positive.

[slarking]

Day 2 - Dealer now waiting to hear back from the factory for approval to proceed with installing the replacement fuel pump. They did not hear back from "PUMA", so I'm driving a loaner Buick (my wife is going to call me Tiger, my 6 year old car snob kid laughed and said she would go with Mom.. oh what a dilema).

My guess is I am getting slow played for a 1-2 month waiting list like most others here. A different SA told me they just got one done that was in for 2 mo's, others were driving around with the slow crank issue waiting for the part to come in.

Details:
02/07 build - 05/07 purchase 1500 miles slow crank; 1600 miles misfire;
sedan, sports package.

We got lots of votes on this poll so far... keep it coming!

[beepbeep]

No problems, 6k, back and forth to work, short trips around town, procede, always Shell Vpower. Fingers and toes crossed.

[mikeruoc]

Bump. Lets keep this going.

[BMW335icDDS]

Seems like its exactly 75% are asymptomatic. Hopefully it keeps going up!

I am awaiting my 4th HPP. Yes you read that right, my fourth one. I am also on my second normal, in tank, fuel pump.
Nothing they have done so far has made any difference.
Car is a 335i convertible with 3000 miles. March prod. date.
I'm getting really bummed out with BMW.
So far they have refused to even discuss a replacement or refund and have hinted that will fight me if I invoke the lemon law.
I am about to the point of crashing the car through the showroom window.

I am surprised you did not "lemon" the car?!?

What kind of perks did your dealership give you to have this much patience?

If it really is your FOURTH fuel pump definately lemon it! That is absolutely absurd to have that many fail.

I'd sue the dealership AND BMWNA at even the 2nd pump, let a lone a 4th!!!

[derryck]

5K miles and no issues so far...car has been flawless but I wouldn't expect any car to be having problems with so few miles let alone a $50K car.

[BMW335icDDS]

Lets keep this one alive and kicking.

[wj4]

Almost at 9k miles now and still kicking. Approx 8700ish.

800 miles and its just beginning the long cold cranks...its about 2 days of this and i am getting annoyed...I am letting the tank run dry and going to put some fresh fuel BP93.... I used Sunoco 93 which i never used before the other day prior to the long cranks...I hope its the gas but i think its wishful thinking...Production date 4/07....Anyone experience long cold cranks that went away and never returned, could this be possible????

My long cranks started far apart. First one was shortly after I got the car, didn't happen again for a month and a half, then about a month then three weeks.. When it started happening more than once a week is when I took it in.

[momscardadgetstodrive]

You guys are scaring me!!! However, the poll would be a hair better by just adding a few mileage partitions. If I vote, I skew the data. My HPFP is fine no problems (just got my car yesterday, 38 miles now ! ) That sarcassm aside, great thread...I hope everyone visits and upates. Some data is probably better than none!

Did you vote 4 times for yes?

[cn555ic]

It only cranks long in the morning, I guess the motor is still cold...during the day it starts up like when i first got the car...I hope its still the bad gas because i went into limp mode the night i decided to be a stupid ass and switch gas from my normal BP93 to Sunoco 93...I am not saying Sunoco has bad gas but i think the change in makeup of the gas or something!!! Who knows just want my Fuel pump to be back to normal!!!

[A418t81]

CN, it was 99% most likely just coincidence, don't beat yourself up about it.

[quickshift3r04]

i had a problem and took it to the dealership. After about 5 days they gave me my car back and now it works. they told me they changed the pressure pump. is that the same thing as the fuel pump ?

[cn555ic]

well this morning the car started up cold just like normal...I don't understand, if a fuel pump is bad than it shouldn't ever get better...I am guessing it could be the gas...Keep my fingers crossed until Aug 16 which is my appointment.
