That is it. There is a whole thread on the subject on the forums. Basically BMW is no longer fixing the problem. Actually, their "fix" wasn't a fix. After replacing the whole dash, the indentation would came back.

Typically people blame HPFP failure to additive they mean ethanol specifically and that's what I referred to as additive mandated in all gasoline by the federal government. Hope this clarifies for you. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/23/bu...23ethanol.html |

Regardless this is complete off the point that non-top tier gas is cause of hpfp failure. Last edited by Robert; 06-08-2010 at 05:21 PM.. |

Plus, numerous failures have occurred in engines where ONLY certain brands of "top tier" fuels have been used. Also, at the moment, my 135i does not have a pump failure and I've used gas from Costco, Gas City, BP, and even a few tanks of Speedway. So, no, it is not true that even one tankful of non Chevron and you're screwed. There is evidence in total contrary to your views. |

The only gas that ever touched my tank after taking delivery was Shell 93. I had constant fuel pump issues. Try again.

This is the first time that I've heard about plastic impeller. They should replace the plastic parts with something more durable and chemical resistent material, things like titanimum or ss steel.
Yes, I do worry about the HPFP problem. If they used the same HPFP in M1, I will skip M! from my purchase list.

Geez my biggest worry is the price here, I don't think a possible HPFP failure could take away the fun to be had with this car Lets first see how the N55 behaves

I'm pretty sure it's come damn close, if not surpassing M3 lap times on a variety of tracks. I'm not sure why you're trying to ridicule an amazing performing car for its price point.
