Hey Guys,
So I noticed that my car started to "hick up" last couple of weeks. You can really notice it in second gear WOT from 2K - 6K. I would get momentary hesitations under the acceleration. Since I have Dinan stage II I thought the software was acting up. Dinan told me I could have hit a bad batch of gas, but the problem continued after I switched to a higher octane gas.
So I brought it in to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a high pressure fuel pump ... being replaced under warranty right now.
Do you guys know if BMW sorted out this issue in new fuel pumps or with this still be problematic?

thats what I heard (that they've extended the warranty of the fuel pump to 200,000 or something like that) ... but it would suck to get stuck on a highway because of a failed fuel pump.
