That's why I havent bought my M3 yet. Bmw seems unable to fix issues with their cars. Instead of making new N55, DCT etc just fix the stupid N54 properly and make sure it works.

This is definitely a system problem vs a design problem, because some of us have zero problems and some of you have problem after problem after problem. It does get a bit repetitive, it's like reading the Hunchback of Notre Dame and having someone point out every page that he is, indeed, a hunchback. |

I just got off the phone with my dealers master tech. He just told me that the new 402 HPFP isn't yet going into all cars because they don't have enough of them to do that at this point. For now they are being special ordered and put into cars that are having problems. According to him, none of the new 402 pumps they have put in have failed, but then again, I'm having issues and I have the new 402. To be fair though I might have some other issue other than the pumps at this point.

I made this sweet video to show you how great my car is working . You'll want to turn the sound up on this one.
It was completely random, but at the end of the video you can hear an engine reving and tires squealing. Out to the left there is a mustang sitting in the middle of the road trying to launch his car and having a hell of a time doing it. |

Unfortunately, it's a bit of wishful thinking that the N55 will solve all our HPFP problems. However, I myself have ordered an N55 135i which is coming late August.
According to a survey conducted on this forum some time ago, around 25% of members have had a HPFP fail on their N54. If the N55 has drastically reduced that failure rate, then BMW has made an improvement IMO. AND this is only ONE reported failure on this forum... The N55 has been around since 2008 on other BMW vehicles right? You have to pay to play! But yeah... we are paying a fair bit of money for our N54 and N55's... |

this is the first hpfp failure posted on this forum. it would be incredibly naive to think this is the first n55 hpfp failure ever, especially when mike from n54tuning.com has confirmed there have been other failures. btw, the n55 just came out this year, it hasn't been out since '08.....that's the n54 you're thinking of |

Its like my Daddy always told me. "Son, if it has tits or tires, its gonna give you headaches." Atleast its a known issue and BMW NA is working on fixing it. Better than not having a warranty to cover it at all.
