Here is what I found googling the subject. I also heard it was early production 2007s and it significantly dropped off in the 08-09 model year.

"Dear Valued Customer,
BMW is committed to delivering the ultimate in product satisfaction to you, our

BMW has become aware of a potential problem that could affect the durability
of the high-pressure fuel pump of certain MY 2007/2008 BMW automobiles
equipped with a 3.0 liter engine. We estimate that only a small percentage of

experience an extended engine starting time ("long crank***8221 or reduced engine
performance when the high-pressure fuel pump malfunctions.
As a commitment to our customers and to demonstrate our confidence in our
product, BMW will extend the emissions warranty for the high-pressure fuel
pump to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. The emissions

of the California Emissions Warranty, the Federal Emissions Defect Warranty,
and the Federal Emissions Performance Warranty apply to the extended

What are the number on the 335 sedan? 0-60? 1/4?

 

Fuel pump is a big issue still. After 4-5 years of production they still can't seem to find a cure for it. Scary. Other than that nice ride and congrats. Enjoy every moment in it.

 

Good luck on the new car. We hardly knew ye..

 

My 01-08 build never had a fuel pump problem, or any other major problem for that matter. Really minor stuff in all honesty.

 

Nice switch!

 

make sure you chip it with JB3 so you can roll with the stock M3's its wicked fast

 

anyone??

 

congrats

 

This has been a topic argrued about greatly on many forums. This is my take.


1) If the HPFP goes it will continue to go on the car. It has begun to happened to people from 3k miles to 50k miles. Get used to the possiblitiy of driving home in Limp home mode.

2) Its good to see BMW warrantying the car, however as one BMW person put it. "I am sick of driving a car that is built with substandard parts. and when I go in they just put more of the substandard parts on the car. Waiting to brake again."

3) That being said, the car is simply the SH*T!! It has probably the best feeling turbo engine I have ever driven outside of my uncles Bentley Continental GT. So much power, so easily tuned. Beautiful to drive and is such a silent killer. I was blown away when I drove my buddies. I did not think it was a sharp handling as everyone makes it out to be. I thought his coupe was kinda soft feeling to me.

4) I have seen guys on line with blown/incinerated turbines that then destroyed the engines. They were in a big battle with BMW North America on if BMW would warranty the engine.

5) I am assuming you are leasing the car or will sell it before warranty is up. I will be curious to see what your BMW service experience is like. I have heard so many horror stories from people on the web and people I know. I am assuming you were satisfied with your Infiniti service world as you had 3 of them. I think you might be in for a suprise if you have a problem with the car. Or you may just fall in love with the BMW.

6) There are attorneys I believe in CA that have class action lawsuits on behalf of a bunch of 335 owners out against BMW for the HPFP. They have had what... now almost 4 years to fix the problem, and their cure is to change the engine from two turbos to one. Pretty much neglecting the people who will have their 07-08 warranties expire this year. I know they extended it but... They just dont want their 50k car to be sitting at the dealer constantly.

7) From what I have heard once the Fuel pump goes you also are asked by the dealer to change the injectors. I think thats about a 2k job.

8) With all that being said, you may be one of the thousands of lucky guys who have NO problems with the car.

Enjoy the Beautiful BMW.

 

I think stock they are like 4.7-4.9 to 60 and like higher 13s in the 1/4.

But for like $500 bucks you can get the computer to boost em to like 400 RWHP or some crazy thing like that.

I have seen videos wherer they are beating new M5's and M3s easily. But you also would need to upgrade to the M3 Limited Slip diff when you do that.

 

^^ yup JB3, my neighbor had it and it was ridiculous!

 

very nice man enjoy it

lets see how long before fuel pump goes; my friends 2010 535xdrive took 1600miles for the first pump n 4000 for the 2nd lol.

and if u want more go jb3 is def. the answer...

 

I kinda downgraded from my e39 5 series to my current G35 S, but no regrets.. worrying about maintenance kinda took away the enjoyment of owning a BMW. For sure the bimmer is much more refined, the engine is silky smooth, and it just seems to be put together much better than my G. But I no longer worry about my cooling system, or my suspension, or random electrical "glitches". But I definitely wouldn't mind leasing the new F10 5 Series later on down the road.

 

Congrats, if you will get long cranks while starting go to the dealer ASAP. Enjoy the ultimate driving machine. I want one.
