Heh. So you're driving at night on the highway and you have a spontaneous fuel pump failure causing you to lose speed and go into limp mode. Guy behind you doesn't see you cause your tail lights are out due to the gas emitted by the seals not to mention the lack of a third brake light. Guy crashes into you and you explode into a ball of fire. Wow BMW, you thought of everything with this car. It's like you got the screenwriter from Final Destination to design this thing.
That said I don't think this one is a big deal. At least they issued a recall; they could have just tried to bury it and let us figure it out on our own like much like they've handled just about every other problem with this car. |

You can still get the N54, but only in the top of the line Z4 and 335is models. I tried my hardest to get the last 2010 335i on the lot, but the dealer sold it to someone else! So as far as the N54 being inferior.....such a deal for BMW to surcharge you for one now!

I can confirm that 1 has issues ther. I hear terrible noises from seat bealt connections, like a car is about breaking on small parts. Certainly in case a crash the noise will be increased and spark a fire. I hope BMW addresses the issue soon.

Great, my car has been sitting in NYC since 5/18 waiting for the backordered power seat module......now THIS!!!
I read where the fix is to remove the insulation...I guess they'll do this at the port also. |

I've heard BMW's solution is to remove the B pillar.

NHTSA Recall
I subscribed to NHTSA to get all recalls sent to me for the cars I own. This came this morning:
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls...e&refurl=email Note that you have to crash first with sufficient severity before the device may cause the fire. ...a recall none the less. Last edited by Barry45RPM; 06-13-2010 at 12:40 PM.. |

I just subscribed as well.
So as of now there is nothing we can do but wait until BMW comes up with a solution correct? Then once they do I assume they will be contacting us via mail on scheduling an appointment for the recall?

I just ordered my 2011... is this recall going to stop the sales of those? Sounds like they are stopping sales of 2010s not 2011?

whats amazing is that they do a full recall for this, but won't do one for the HPFP, despite all the problems people are having. for that they let you keep coming back for diagnosis, getting stranded, etc.
