It seems we have reports of another round of Fuel Pump issues with the N54 twin turbo engine. We all know that there were some fuel pump issues in the past.
However this reader is reporting that he has already has his fuel pump replaced once and is now being advised to keep his gas tank above 1/4 a tank to prevent any limp modes.
Has anyone else out there seen reduced power or hesitation when driving below 1/4 of a tank of gas? If so you may want to take it to your local dealer and have them check the leak down rate and see if you need to be placed on the list for a new new new new fuel pump that should come in the 09’s.

1Can you please verify regarding “that should come in the 09’s”.
Are the MY2009 E90 335i cars going to get a new fuel pump design from the start of production in September?

2bsd107,
I’m unsure. I have heard reports both ways but nothing concrete. If I receive word I’ll post it up.

3[...] Beim 335i scheint das Problem nicht vorbei zu sein und runterspielen würde ich es auch nicht: http://www.bmwblog.com/2008/08/13/fuel-pumps-part-2/ [...]
