My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi
Grey/Grey Budapest 18"
Lost to HPFP issues:
08 535i sport pkg
Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks:
07 E61 530Xi
My 4th one knock on wood is holding up since the Jan install...
My dealer still does not have the new software as per the tsb and the round table.. I've take the car in 2 time snow and they still do not have it... I've lost hope, and most likely won't get another BMW turbo motor ( which will be hard to do ).
BTW :BMW has also added 10year 120k to the HPFP warranty , and most owners should be getting a letter soon about it.

It is true, you can hear a "wastegate/turbo rattle" at idle - although once under load the sound is more intoxicating.

+1. 535 has better bang for your buck (99% of the 550's performance at a lower price) but, to me, there's no substitute for cubic inches.
I have a brand new 09 535i manufactured in November of 08. How can i tell if i have a turbo lag? thanks. Scott
