Car in shop again

Damn, keep getting engine malfunction light. When I accelerate, the car shudders then light comes on. Car went into limp mode and barely got it to the dealer. Dealer thinks it might be the HPFP...again. If so, this will be the third time it has been replaced. The loaner Camry Hybrid is looking pretty good to me now. Not sure what is with BMW but seems like I am a regular at the dealer.

Sorry to hear that. GL

On the bright side, you can lemon it out and order the 1M as of today!

30 days in the shop in the first year of ownership = BMW buyback. so keep track of the days. And next time do the right thing and buy from me

OK, got the car back. HPFP failed again for the third time. This time I experienced different symptoms...no long cranking. Weird. Anyway, car is back on the road again and running great.
