Nick,
Have any of the dealers updated your software version recently? The new one that came out within the last month has some changes that affect how the fuel pumps work and supposedly resolves many of the failure problems. Not that it will fix your current bad pump, but it should keep the new replacement from failing (in theory). |

Also, did all of the voters buy the car new? If not, there is no way to know what type of gas was used by the previous owner. It would be interesting to conduct a more detailed study factoring in all of these variables to see if in fact there is a connection to fuel brand, mileage at failure etc. Given that it's not much extra hassle for me to fill up with Shell, I will do so if there is even the slightest chance of it reducing the risk of failure. This whole thing is BS for sure, and I agree with Nick - you should not have to seek out a certain brand of fuel at the risk of being stranded on the roadside! Edit: I am also BP fan Anvar, I used only BP in my 330 and still use it mostly for the Fusion ![]() |

Well I just finished treating my E92's leather interior. It took a few hours but I could see the results right away. The BMW leather care kit is well worth the $20.

![]() You can get leather cleaner / conditioner at any auto store (maybe even at Target?). This is just the BMW branded stuff. It's a nice kit that provides applicator sponges and dry wipes. |
