Thanks. Oh boy, okay, I think I'll call the dealer. I really really hope there is a discrete test they can do to realize it is faulty and I don't have to go through a process of "we can't recreate it, everything seems fine" . . .
Lastly, I assume they will replace the fuel pump. From anyone who has had this done, does it take very long (e.g., assuming I can get a timely appointment, will the car be out of my hands for very long?). Thanks again for the invaluable feedback!

Just schedule an appointment and let the SA know before hand what the problem is. If they have the part on hand the job should be done within a day, otherwise you'll get a loaner.

Sweet. This is why this board rocks.
Thanks for the in-depth info on BMW of Manhattan (and all the other advice) GREAT things to know. I bought my Z4 from DiFeo BMW in Tenafly and that was a nightmare when it came to service issues.
(off topic: but the front badge on the Z4 had peeled back or whatever and needed to be replaced, I looked it up on the internet and it clearly indicated that the Z4's front badge was the only one that needed to be replaced from the underside and to NOT try and pry it out from the top. I printed this out in bold 18pt font on a piece of paper, told the SA, asked him to give the paper to the mechanics, etc. What happened? Got the car back two days late, some idiot tried to pry it off from the top, gouged the paint, had to repair and retouch paint. INCOMPETENT FOOLS).
Anyway, I will call BMW of Manhattan today. If anyone has a copy or link to the "recall" or the "service bulletin" related to the HPFP that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, all.

RPI Scoop
BMC Air Filter
Valentine One Radar Detector
35% tint all around
i know a guy (i got my wheels from him) , who had HPFP gone bad 3 times within a month. His 535i was brand new.
overall seems like 535 is a great car but these pumps are the problem. well as long as your car under warranty nothing to worry about, im sure they already figured it out and came up with a better part

"I HOPE FREDDY CHAN THE SERVICE PERSON I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED BY BMW OF MANHATTAN READS THIS BOARD."
I made the appt for tomorrow morning, left him a vm, channeled all of your thoughts/input and hopefully we can knock this out without multiple visits!
