I've owned two N54 cars:

2007 335: 32k miles and no problems whatsoever.
2010 335: HPFP ~2500 miles (March 2010); replaced, no problems since.

My guess would be that they've gotten a better handle on the overriding issue(s), but it's still a game of chance. Plan on it happening; be relieved if it never does...

The warranty/repair wasn't a problem for me. An inopportune moment for the HPFP to send the automobile into fault/limp mode at 60-70 mph on a major thoroughfare during rush hour almost was. The truck behind me had an alert driver at the wheel, or I would have had a Ford F250 enema that day.

Not trying to be too overdramatic, but HPFP failure being a big deal is subjective to time and place.

Replaced by recall at 16,000 miles and ~2 years. Never had any problems with it before the recall.

yes at 17000 miles. 2 weeks after the ECU SW update that was suppose to help and improve the current pump.

My 135 crapped out at 12k miles, needed rollback as it wouldn't make it out of development with 3 restarts. I had sx for 3 mo and had 2 software updates to fix it...that didn't. This all went down right before the recall when they were still trying to avoid replacement. If they replaced it on sx alone I would not have been stranded.

Now 26k, lots of little things but only 1 hpfp, and nothing else that's left me stranded.

My brothers 335 has gone though 2 fuel pumps, and about 4 injectors and most recently a coil pack up to 48k, 4 times disabling the car, 2x for rollback the other 2 making it to the dealer bucking and missing

It wasn't until this year that we started using the car for long weekend trips as i was concerned it would crap out somewhere 4-6 hours from home and i'd be stuck on a friday night with no service till the next week....renting a car, then driving back the next week to pick up the bmw.
