Fuel pump issues for 1Addicts not in the US

Hi guys, recently I've read a few posts where it has been suggested that the quality of gasoline available in many areas of the United States may be in part responsible for the fuel pump failures on the 135i. Is there any credibility to this?

Specifically, have any drivers in other countries that have had the failures? I know we are a diverse crowd so I want to hear from the Canadians, Germans, UK drivers, etc on how their fuel pumps are so far so we can compare. Could you lease mileage in your post as well too?

What problems are you having? Did you need to get your pump replaced?
