Yes, I will tell that to my 4 fuel pumps that have failed in 30k miles.

I also have non-run flats with no spare. I still have BMW roadside assistance, and wifey has AAA. I still always think about it though. Of course it will only happen at the worse time in the worse neighberhood.

The law is an unnatural law in the sense that if the driver F's up and doesn't stop, the pedestrian gets hurt or killed. The law makes no sense to expect a car weighing 3,000 pounds to stop for a person weighing 180 pounds. The Physics of the law is backwards; it is easier and more predictable for a human travelling at 2 MPH to stop crossing the street when there is traffic present than for a 3,000 lb. car to stop travelling 30 MPH for a human in the crosswalk. Cars rarely get killed by hitting humans; not so the other way around. Humans can stop from walking speed in under 12 inches; cars travelling at road speed (30 MPH) take nearly 100 feet. Your friend got hit because a Politician wrote a stupid law and he expected someone to obey it. I apologize for the rant. |

Where? I'd bet it was added after the law in DC was passed. Sorry, used to be a courier in the '80s and went to school downtown in the '70s; no mid-block crosswalks. And BTW it was D.C. liberals who came up with the idea to pass out free "clean" drug needles to cure aids (LOL). Just sayin'

MD law does allow for mid-block crosswalks, by the way, whether a signal is installed or not. Look it up in the State Code. Far as I know, it's been that way near on to forever. |

I'd think an aftermarket fuel pump, no matter who installed it, would have BMW yelling "no fuel system warranty" in a New York minute. |

BEWARE - Don't use this stuff! It will eat the paint away on the inside of your rim. Had it happen to an old set of wheels. |

I've only ever had one flat since running RFTs, deciding to switch to all-season Falkens for some weight savings.
