HPFP replaced
The HPFP went out while wot in 2nd gear the other day. Felt like smacking into the rev-limiter, then a fancy graphic displayed on the dash. Yellow engine light, the nav display also popped open and showed "engine malfunction, operating in reduced power." Yup, this is what a 3300 lb Miata would feel like, without the great handling. Just a slow, turbo-less 3500 rpm car.
The dealer called me after day 1 to ask me if there was any aftermarket tune in the car, which surprised me, more that they didn't know the car had dinan stg 2 to begin with, said the codes being thrown were not normal codes. But, thankfully, 3 days in the shop and new Dinan flash, new BMW flash, and a new HPFP and the car is back, without the long cranks upon first-start-up of the day. And the radio shows station names now, whooppie! It was disappointing to blow a fuel pump in such a new car, but i knew it was possible when i got into a 1er, so no surprise. |
