For me, I have 20,000km on the Dinan Stage 2. So far 1 Fuel Pump and two CELs. But I'm very happy with the power
Anyone else?

I highly doubt that your HPFP failure was caused by your Dinan Stage 2 ECU remap.

Nonetheless, did your dealer give you a hard time with replacing the HPFP under warranty.

Yea, the fuel pumps on these cars are non to be a wee bit bitchy. I doubt the Dinan tune caused it....prepare for many more pumps in the future...at least until BMW figures out how to make the damn things work. A buddy of mine went through 4 pumps in a single year...

Was your dealer not willing to replace the pump?

Coming on to almost 20 months and no issues. But really on the street with Stage 2 you can't be heavy on the gas very much without becoming a suppository to the cars in front of you.

The Dealer had no problems replacing the pump, in fact, the pump didn't even fail, I just had hesitation in 2nd gear. Then the dealer diagnosed the problem to the fuel pump. .... If and when BMW will figure out this HPFP problem, can someone please put a sticky on this page ... please.

And yes, the Stage 2 is awesome on the street.

Anyone else has had any problems with Dinan?

Have had my Dinan S1 package for 10 months now - I appreciate my car more every day and have not had any issues.
