Brand New 135i already PHAILING me =(
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....

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...

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"

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. |

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.

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 |

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. |
