Other than this issue, I am absolutely thrilled everytime I go into my garage, start up my E90, and hit the road. It still is the most enjoyable car I ever bought. |

"If it ain't broken don't fix it". My car has been flawless & I certainly don't want this HPFP experiment to screw it up since my car is not a lease.

I do have DInan software installed, but do not drive the car very hard at all. My first pump also died BEFORE I got the software installed anyway. Once in a while I will hit it a bit, but definitely not all the time, and I am not a maniac driver. This is the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE though, right? I hope they would build it so it can actually be driven and not babied all the time.
And to the one who posted about Limp Mode being like a Saturn, Blazer, Honda, etc...NO FRICKIN WAY. I had this 3 weeks ago and had to drive home from the place I was at when the car died. It BARELY accelerated. I could floor the gas and it putted along like an old Yugo. VERY unsafe for anything but short local driving. My dealer is 10+ miles away and I go on the highway, no way was I going to drive it there like this, so they came and towed it away, for the SECOND time now. Quote:

I just got my car back from the dealer today. This is the second fuel pump that they replaced in the last six months. I hope the new fuel pump and the software update will eliminate the issue with the car went into the Limp mode where you can't accelerate.

lower gas mileage and slower 0-60 etc but the above is also true for their latest update too. I wish there was some way easily for us to show bmw the sold city/highway mpg numbers dont match what we're getting with the latest software... I know this is something bmw doesnt want to touch. ppp

For me, never to all three questions. Thus, take it back. |

Yes. I mentioned that in my post at the top of this page. And there's a thread somewhere with a whole bunch of people talking about this very issue.

I had my HPFP replaced with the 881 version as a result of SIB 130308. BTW, I am on the latest software version as of last week and no longer smell fuel when starting the car. I am willing to bet an improper installation over time resulted in this fuel leak. |

That's why M3 is the more reliable car, although it'll be more expensive for maintenence. M3 engines are all built for the track and are raced professionally. |

I didn't mean for that to come across negatively, but I can see how it did. I just meant to clarify what I meant, while correcting that for you, I'm not a grammar nazi per se but I do appreciate when people point out my mistakes. No offense intended
