My Ride: 2010 535i Msport
I didn't mean to scare you. I am only saying that if you put it in turn it off before taking it into the dealer. I assume this is YOUR car. You own it and can do as you please. BMW voluntarily made this warranty on the pump so they want a happy customer. Their not trying to get out of replacing the pumps. Some dealers can be prick though. Bottom line if you add a tune they would have to prove the tune actually caused the failure. That's not possible because these pumps were failing frequently anyway.
As for BMW to continue to use these pumps. Well not all are failing just a high percent. They have made several corrections and I think the latest pump seems to be living a long life. So all the old pumps in service parts they had no way of determining if it would fail. So instead of scrapping all of these pumps they just simply extend the warranty. I know someone that had six pumps in a year and half! And I know a few that are still on their original or second one. Do you know if yours have been replaced?

not sure but that was on my list of things to do tomorrow, call my local dealership and see if they will disclose it to me. Ive read some dealerships refuse to disclose that info. Kinda ridiculous but I try to steal clear on the dealerships as much as i can for obvious reasons (i.e. they think we're all rich and they can screw us over, etc.) So what happened when they discovered your? did they try to deny service? and just curious man? you ex military? looks like a helo pic. I was active army for five years
