New HPFP from recall gone bad
#31
Just accept the fact that you overpaid for one of the most problematic BMWs ever produced instead of trying to argue about it like a child on a forum, Captian BMW. Maybe you wont have issues, doesnt change the fact that one day, you may end up at a busy intersection when your fuel pump dies. And my car is gone in a few months.
Have fun with that! I said my bit about the fuel pump, I am not contributing to this thread any further.

Ah! And I was just beginning to reconsider E60 535 again...
Good to know. And, no, thanks
I personally agree with Craig by now - piss poor job, BMW :thumbsdown:
PS But I think the issue is severely exaggerated by the fact that the dealer technicians are interested in cars coming back for more and more warranty work. I believe that all dealer technicians scam on one level or another, but with BMW it is especially lucrative, since BMW pays them handsome sums of money. For example, I've had to have the sunroof seal replaced - the bill was over a grand! That's ridiculous for a piece of rubber! And I bet BMW pays out those thousand-two thousand claims by tens of thousands annually to all kinds of dealers. They should do a thorough investigation of their dealers' operations and revamp the entire system. Even Craig's problems - although I think he may actually have a lemon - may have not been as bad, if the dealers weren't so financially dependent on these warranty repairs. In the end this costs us - the buyers - more money, because the only way BMW can keep it up, is by charging more and more for new models... hence the 75k F10 535 :thumbsdown:

Actually, bitching about my car right here on these forums have gotten me a little bit. BMWNA even contacted my dealership about my problems which I posted here. I have recieved some financial restitution. So you are wrong. Matter of fact, last time I got a dirty loaner, I mentioned it here, and they saw it. They sent me a clean loaner and detailed my car after service.

It's also odd that your car just died because of the fuel pump. Most people cars that were having trouble last year were just going into reduced power mode, not totally shuting off.

lmao... riiiiiight, sure BMW did. Keep on bitching, you're getting paid... wink, wink. I can appreciate why you feel it necessary to resort to personal attacks and flat out lies, that makes perfect sense. But saying that you thought I overpaid for my car was a bit perplexing. Where did you pull that out of? Hope you at least wiped it off first.

Dont know why I would need to lie about that. Id rather them not have, this way I could really hate on the brand, not just the awful 535. Every time my fuel pump went bad, it went into limp mode, except the one time it died on me in traffic and wouldnt restart. I had to call BMW roadside assistance to come get it. I have nothing to gain or lose by lying about any of this. I also never said you overpaid for your car.
I feel like I am talking to Jrowe or M5wannabe.

Here is another one for you penis breath. I had some juice left in the flux capacitor. Fortunately I have my flux capacitor in another vehicle, not my 535. Id be afraid of my fuel pump dying in the past and not being able to make it home.
