Probably get my car back this week....

Spool · 06-06-2007, 04:18 PM

My SA called me today saying that they got a fuel pump for me...

Supposedly there were 3 people ahead of me waiting for it...but since i threatened to Lemon the car BMWNA got scared and bumped me up the list...

totally speculating, but it might be that...why else would i get mine before everyone else?

today would be 3 weeks...and they are installing it on the car right now or something...

iatacs19, ur pump is next to go..

Scottz71 · 06-06-2007, 04:19 PM

CAN someone please explain the symptoms and signs of the fuel pump going???

Spool · 06-06-2007, 04:22 PM

Yup...

1. longer crank times
2. random sputtering of engine
3. shaking
4. check engine light comes on
5. car does not run...

The car dies on you.
won't start...
What else spool?

Swoop · 06-06-2007, 04:24 PM

Uh oh, sounds like a hypochondriac..

From what I hear, your car kinda gives out on you a little when accelerating over a couple of days and the next thing you know, you're stranded on the beltway calling BMW Assist...

Good to hear, Spool, any luck ditching that thing you had? starts w/ a P and ends with a broken fuel pump...

Scottz71 · 06-06-2007, 04:24 PM

what about jumpy throttle, random hesitation on launch, possibly mis-firing feeling at idle??

i want to die.

Work blows
My car isn't running right
My knees hurt (too much hockey)
No golf in over 3 weeks
Red Sox losing streak

i need a change of luck...

Bad news if not his...
bad news if his... no win situation on that one.

In any case, a child seat does fit in the rear. That is good news!

Car built week of Dec 11th
Picked up Jan 19th

Car has 3,544 miles on it.

MDman · 06-07-2007, 09:10 PM

That's a late build...I thought the early ones were the affected ones? Mine was built in October, I have 5000miles and it's still going strong...That's some really sporadic batch of bad fuel pumps!!!

Spool · 06-07-2007, 10:07 PM
