Brand New 135i already PHAILING me =(

[sooos]

Picked up a Sedona Red 135i with m sport navi etc. It had 3036 miles when i picked it up on last Friday. On Saturday it had a 6 second crank and I was like o god please no.... Service engine came on then turned off again so i ignored it.... It is now Thursday and it happened again at work when I was going to lunch, long crank and service engine light came back on.... I used my AUTOBOSS on it and it wasnt reading and fuel levels do u guys think its the HPFP? I am sending in for service next week I am just a bit frustrated as I just got the car 6 days ago....

[sooos]

I mean I love the car i enjoy driving it ive owned and e46 325 vert ive owned a z4. The driving experience with the 135i is just phenomenal its hard to pay attention as to how fast im going. I'm just frustrated with the thing now. I was so excited too. Now all my co workers are like are you sure thats a new car? lol I dont know how to react just frustrated i guess...

[IZAGLO]

join the club....ask for a new #43 HPFP and the new flash that came out 3 weeks ago and you will be fine. The new HPFP seems to working just fine on my car!!

Mine failed at 3700 mi. It started as you say....long cranks. After aprox. 7 days, .......total failure. Taking it to the dealer was a really bad experience. Have it checked soon.....Good luck !

Will do I just hope they do it right off the bat and not try to BS me... My dealership is Pacific BMW its filled with a bunch of retards, all they try to do is delay and try to charge me for dum things... I mean ive had the car for 6 days!!! when I bought the car from the they refused to give me a loaner and i had to pay $500 to drive a rental from Hertz which the windshield cracked and i HAD to pay for that as well becuz the insurance on the car wouldn't cover it. If they try the same BS on not giving me a loaner this time im gonna be heated BUT i still love my car

Sorry to hear about your issues, as soon as your SES light comes on, don't ignore it, get it taken care of because your HPFP is on its way out. I had mine replaced at 1200 miles and *knock on wood* I've had no more issues 5000+ miles later.

wow... ya this is the 2nd time its come on and i scheduled for a service for next week.. even if the light goes off again it should still be saved somewhere in the computer right? I dont want them to be like there is no light were no covering anything.... As they did one time with me and my "Zed"

[aksundog]

Better for it go out now and you get the latest part and software update. At least that's how I felt.

At least now I have some hope that I'm running a reliable pump.

You should get a loaner, and if you don't, don't hesitate to escalate your complaint.

[Sidh135i]

I know how you feel! I bought my car used with 18,000 miles. Two weeks later the HPFP fails on me.... Haven't had problems since, crossing my fingers for now!

[sooos]

Im glad to know im not the only one I know others have had it fail but didnt know so many had it fail thats soon after buying it

[Feyd]

Mine went out about then too....

Wow what is that nothing like that came up for me just a service engine soon light and a insanely long crank

[Feyd]

Long crank... sputter sputter.

Sounded like a dragster for a few seconds (HUUUUUUGE cam) and then I get the limp mode light.

*shrug*

[sooos]

ahhh thats the infamous limp mode light.... lol hopefully i get mine there before i get that lol

[POEHAM]

good luck to you.....I've seen that light way too many times already......on HPFP #3 right now....hope ur car isnt following in my path. The driving experience is phenomenal, but the comfort of not knowing whether my car will start correctly each day does not outweigh it.

why did you think a 2nd hand 135i is still on the lot after so little mileage.

[hppypaul]

Got the software last week, ran fine and now the cranks are increasing again. supposed to get the new pump next week. hopefully it will be the end.

I didn't think much of it considering my my cousins friend is the manager at Pacific BMW even tho I hate the place the car was a lease assumption 450 a month i couldn't pass on the offer, I mean the thing is fully loaded and it was the only MT i have been able to find.... its like finding a manual bmw is nearly impossible now I would have bought one if i had the time to order one like that i would have but I didn't so i thought ehhh why not I sold my s2000 and fell in love with this it had everything I wanted except the interior color which i kind of like now....

It just bugs me that u would think they would have checked the car before they sold it but i guess not....

It boggles the mind how something in that price range can break that quickly :-(
I have however not heard of anyone having these problems in Denmark, at least not from anyone on the forums in denmark that are bmw related. My own 135 is running fine with no issues at 38.000 km

Yep I just have terrible luck with cars... BUT then again I guess so do the rest of the majority of 1er drivers

Probably too late to be of any use to you now but for future reference, Yes, if your light was on and then went out that will be stored in the computer for a while. When my long cranks started my SES light didn't come on for a while, but of course I knew what the problem was. I called the dealership to tell them and they said there was nothing they could do unless the SES light had come on.

Well a few days later my light came on, so I made an apointment, between when I made the appointment and the day I was supposed to take it in, it went out but it was not an issue since it had been stored.

Also of note, I had long cranks and a SES light but the car never drove out of character, nor did I ever go into limp mode.
