My 2010 X5 fuel pump is being replaced 1/6/12. Third time car in for service for faulty fuel pump. I am sooooo upset that a 2 year old car is already experiencing such issues. What a waste of money! No more BMW for me..

Has anyone experienced similar issues with the latest N55 engine with the single, dual vane turbo in the 535 series? I am under the impression that the N55′s do not require the same HPFP or at least the same design due to the single turbo design. If that is true, there should be some relief with the newer engine. Or at least we can hope?

Pretty sorry “state of of affairs” if BMW can’t produce a car with an acceptable high pressure fuel pump. I did not think designing a fuel pump is cold fusion. My idea of a fix is not de-tuning the car and replacing with the same model fuel pump. My 08 135i has not had the problem yet but I am seriously thinking dumping the car.

UK Paratrooper what a joke ! Did you kill innocents ? And now brag about it ? I side with my bretheran , farm folk , common folk , the people of Egypt , trash like you keeps scum in power you sided with the goverment with out the thought of whom your keeping in power , you will get yours . Come on and lets spar , you made the offer so lets go , I’am waiting . The village I grew up in Canada has lots of ex-German soliders whom Canada allowed to move there after the war , I played with there children and ate many meals at there houses when I was little . there were / are some fine folks , Prescott Bush , Henry Ford were influcened by these boys , so I’am in GOOD COMPANY ,. You sound like a worm , I mean if the German marques are so arrogant why do you stll deal with them , I have never had a problem with the Germans , in Canada , in the U.S or in Europe . I respect them and there ways ! My BMW may sit for weeks [battery charger pluged in to keep the battery fully charged] and have never had a problem . The economy of the U.S. is collapsing and its going to be nasty , its going to be rude , and for some its going to be a horrable end of a way of life , add climate change and its going to be really interesting —— As to you Doug , as we say in Alaska , your nothing but a goverment bitch , a goverment whore , you will do the bidding of your master with out thinking on your own , trash like you will turn on your own kind for a nickel and have the nerve to brag about it . I will buy a BMW 2002 tii and / or a 2002 turbo so I can still enjoy BMW –The Ultimate Driving Machine in case my 2008 is dis-abled from any number of reasons that are possible .

I was just about to buy a little 320 runaround which according to the owner has a limp mode problems which apparently was diagnosed by a local garage as possibly a clutch problem and now it seems it may be something completely different……so thanks for the info that has been relayed by the forum contributers…….except Paul!

Now Paul, before you go into your usual diatribe (borrow a dictionary and look it up ) let me first introduce myself.

Firstly I am Scottish, which makes me both presently and historically a more engineeringly competent person than you.

Secondly, you are French Canadian which, given you support for the German marque means your family were probably collaborators during the war…shame on you.

Thirdly, I have had the pleasure of owning various German prestige marques, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and Audi and I can comfortably say that their service divisions all suffer from an arrogance that defies belief. I also owned various other cars brands including Skoda, Jaguar, Range Rover, Lexus, Jeep and the various service depts couldn’t be more helpful.

Reading what I could of your previous posts before wanting to end my life, it is ridiculous to criticize other forum members regarding their use of their vehicles. There is no directive issued by any car manufacturer regarding the requirement to use a car regularly to avoid problems….absolutely none. Previously, there may have been regarding use to continue the charge of a battery, however this has not been in place for over a decade.

To state that a machine has to be used continually to ensure it works continually is completely inaccurate, and in fact, complete non-sense with respects to a car.

Feel free to reply, but if you do I will highlight all grammar errors, factually incorrect details and basically anything else that shows you up to be the imbecile you appear to be.

By the way, I am also a decorated former UK Paratrooper and have spent decades whooping big mouths such as you, much to my enjoyment. If you cover my fare…I will happily come and whoop you to!

Regards

Doug

When I go to Europe to pick up my next BMW I’ll be training in this course so I can be fully prepared for the “new economy” and 2012 !

Typical reponce , thats all your capable of comming up with , how could I expect anything elce from one of your kind . As I’am racing through the snowy streets in my BMW I ‘am thinking about the future of this Republic and how some have been left behind in the “new economy” and some have not missed a beat and will continue to forge ahead and prosper . I love the D.S.C. / D.T.C. feature , once again The German Performance Giant BMW delivered with this feature and the ability to control it with a push of a button , ice , fresh snow on ice , slick spots where cars were idling waiting for the lights to change , it makes no differance BMW conquers all these verying conditions with ease . Yes the “new economy” will include BMW and other folks whom can deliver as promiced .

It sounds like you are having a lot of guilt in your pathetic life. As for the housing crisis I have only been a Realtor for a year so go screw your mother as it will probably relieve your guilt for you wanting to give head to your dog.

According to some news programs the housing foreclosure crisis was caused in part by real estate agents , bankers , loan specialist fixing the numbers to get people into homes that they could not afford so tooting your horn as if your so innocent is pathetic , we are all guilty , some just more then others . So the question is did you receive a commission on any properties that have been fore closed on due to the folks inability to pay the mortage ? If so did you return the commission ? Being French-Canadien and Catholic I’am a child of Christ , innocent of all charges and false accusations .Then I wake up and think I could have had a BMW 750i x drive instead of a 335xi if I had NOT had to spend 50k on a lawyer to defend me of assult charges in the supposed boot stomping of a few just so innocent guys whom were just playing with me and things got out of hand and went too far . Everyone is a victim , we live in a society of innocent victims . BMW is a mans machine built for men to drive , mine runs perfect ! Sheldon needs to hang out with some French-Canadien boys to toughen him up .

Well as a Realtor I have to disclose all that is wrong with a house so the buyer can make an informed decision. When I bought my 2010 135i I was not informed of the problem. When my car reached 2500 miles the fuel pump failed. So what BMW and the dealer has done is committed fraud. This is not my first BMW and probably not my last however they should do the right thing and buy back the cars if they can not come up with a permanent fix.

Pierre , Past Performance is a Good Indication of Future Performance , In October of 2008 I purchased a BMW 335xi new from Lithia BMW of Anchorage , I traded in a 2005 Subaru GT Legacy 2.5 turbo , that car was bullet proof , in the time I had the car I experianced a few very minor issues that were corrected by Continental Subaru of Anchorage , another first class operation . The only issue with the Subaru were the front seat were too small for my size .The sales women assured me that my BMW would deliver as well as the Subaru had , fast , powerful , dry pavement , wet pavement , ice and snow , in the mountians and valleys of Alaska and western Canada would be home turf for this machine . And the sport package front seats are so much nicer with the extendable shelf on long runs .No sad excuses ! BMW has delivered , BMW has flat delivered the Ultimate Driving Machine as promiced , Lithia BMW of Anchorage has delivered as a first class operation in the maintance of this machine , this car has experianced only a few minor issues , this car has never let me down , BMW has replaced the H.P.F.P. twice , the first time the car was slow to start and BMW promptly replaced the pump , the second time the car’s H.P.F.P. was on a recall list , so when I took the car in for factory scheduled maintance the service advisor told me BMW had issued a recall and a new H.P.F.P. and injectors were installed , after the work the car had even more pep and ran even better then before . My mother had a 320i that was parked in her garage after being driven over 200 K miles , she only parked the car because she is too old to drive , my sister Mary Marie’s BMW 5 series caught fire and burned to a crisp , her next BMW died on Christmas eve on the way home for our mothers house , so a truck was dispached to rescue her . My BMW on the other hand has been bullet proof , it has never let me down , I run the piss out of it per factory , sales person , service techs , west coast factory reps advice , do not baby it were the exact words spoken , the worst thing one can do to there BMW is putter around in it , I do not abuse this machine , I make the car perform as the engineers in Munich designed it to , I ‘am very carefull never to slip the clutch , break traction , shift too hard , yet I do drive it very fast and run it hard , on the open road I’ll run right up to 100 mph or top speed on the long straight streaches , any one whom lives in eastern Alaska or western Canada knows the vast open streaches of un-patroled highways that allows you to open your machine up and run it as the designers envisoned . In my case BMW has delivered the Ultimate Mountian Machine and Lithia BMW has delivered as my partner in keeping my BMW running to factory specs . So the exact nature of your BMW’s failure to deliver is open , is the dealership at fault for not maintaining the machine properly ? Was the car bought new or used and did the previous owner abuse it ? Was the car damaged and not repaired properly ? Too many possibilities to ponder . So how about Bruno Spengler [M.B. DTM driver] and BMW return to D.T.M. in 2012 ? —– I still remember those nights in Montreal —–

Paul, from one French-Canadien to another, can you explain why BMW cars are so unreliable? First day of ownership (Xmas eve) on a long drive south to be with my family and it breaksdown. I had to have it towed 50kms back home. Thanks BMW for the ultimate drivingmachine. Hope you are proud when you consider an innocent mother and child driving such a vehicle are at risk of being stranded!

The car has performed flawlessly since being bought brand new in the fall of 2008 , the only reason I went to the dealership was because the heater fan motor was failing and a simple test confirmed this , a new one was ordered and installed . I also mentioned that it some times would take an extra second to start in the mornings , only some times though , that is all it took for me to say and it was a done deal . Sprinter your responce reaks with dis-satifaction , is your Audi A-4 not quite the Ultimate Driving Machine you expected , kinda un-happy eh ? I love racing through the streets of Anchorage after a snow fall , before the plows have been out , racing down the Glenn , kicking up a rooster tail of fresh powder , racing other Bimmers , testing the T.C. and D.S.C. , and switching it off to test my driving skills . Audi’s are nice but there are just NOT the orginal Ultimate Driving Machines —– you have NO idea whats its like to to race around at 15 below zero , all that traction , cold air across the intercooler , dense cold air being forced in to the engine , a 100 foot rooster tail kicking behind you , shifting gears at 6000 rpm and pulling away from the competition , only some Subarus , S4 Audi’s and AWD Porsches are able to keep up with the BMW xdrives . BMW DELIVERS !

Now you have a clean lemon. How much time passed from the acquisition date to this recall? BMW=lack of integrity.
