Had new HPFP installed under the BMW recall last month on my 2008 535XI, went out at 408 miles, never had a ptoblem with old one. So much for BMW fix for the problem. Anyone else have this problem on the new recall pump?

So it could be your fuel pump, or your injectors, or a multitude of other things. Like I said... no more BMWs for me.

Could be the injectors, Ive had those replaced too. And my entire rack and pinion, and vacuum hoses, and entire steering column, and both headlight housings wires melting, and a taillight wire harness do to a short causing it to melt, and two power window motors, and shifter, and key fob, wish I could get my idrive more than 80% of the time.

Problems are sadly not the exclusive domain of BMW.I can give you an equally long laundry list of problems with my former Audi,Saab and Volvo! If reliability is what you crave,go for Honda and be bored silly with your dependable ride.

I have had about $10-15K done in warranty work. The entire rack and pinion getting replaced took over two weeks. That is unacceptable, regardless of how fun the car is to drive

I did get loaners every time, and they came to my work to pick up and drop off my car leaving me with a 3 series loaner. For the most part, Fields BMW has been very accommodating and helpful. Once they even sent my car in for a professional detailing, and last time they put like half a tank of gas in the car. Once I left something in a loaner, they drove to my home to drop it off.
