exactly. i'd say almost half the members on this website have had either software reprogramming or hpfp replaced, and there's far more 1 and 3 series owners than bimmerpost members.

After 5 years and even N55's now going too? Ouch... Who *hasn't* had their software reprogrammed or fuel pump replaced at least once already!

Hopefully you'll have better luck with the next brand you choose.
I suggest Honda or Toyota or Buick, as they rate very well in terms of reliability.

(not speaking for people outside of CA since i dont know how your guyss laws work, im mainly talking about California people)
Ya u go to a lawyer and have them tell you how long it takes and the amount of money you have to pay...

not long as a matter of fact. i lemoned my G35 like 3 years back got like 5k grand, kept the car for last 5 months of the lease, lawyers only kept 1500. free consultation the first time no hassle whole process took about 2 months, i literally talked with the attorney like 3 times and that was it.

we had to... work extra hard on my G because it was just shy of meeting all the requirements of a valid lemon claim, so with HPFP and ur car going form 80 to like 5o mph all of a sudden, barely starting up, dying in the middle of the street/intersection (happened to me twice) and being overall unsecure and "dangerous"... yea i bet ur gona have no problems filing and winning a claim.

Here's the link I didn't see and videos on it though:

http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/bmw-adm...ry?id=11968495

Not something we haven't heard before just the concern of the cars being unsafe while in "limp mode".
