Hello all - first post for me but hope to make it a regular thing.

I don't own a BMW yet but I am currently considering the possibility of a 135i in the garage in the next 6 months or so (I like to do my research before committing). So, here is my first question to all current (and past) Australian 135i owners.

I'll be looking on the second hand market for the car so I'll be looking at '08 and '09 year cars. Given it's now mid 2011, any '08 car will be either out of warranty or at best very close to it. Given the known HPFP issues I'm concerned that I will need to pay for future replacement of the HPFP (possibly multiple times by the sound of it).

I've read on the US forums that BMW NA have extended the warranty on the HPFP to 10 years or 120,000 miles. Does anybody have absolutely rock solid evidence that BMW Australia have committed to a similar warranty extension?

Also, while I'm at it, is there any difference between the '08 model and the '09 model 135i, if so does it matter and should I be aiming for an '09 rather than an '08?
