not good for f10 535i owners/prospective owners......

and before anyone says, (that's why you should get the 550/TTV8), you are missing the point...


that's unfortunate news

Okay, so basically BMW is f***ed, because almost all of their engines are now turbos

Great find, Marc!

Wasn't this engine N54/N55 voted engine of the year? So much for that bit of confidence.

Its still engine of the year... just not a reliable one. Engine of the year is not awarded on fuel pump integrity alone, ya know

What makes me wonder is, if it's a general problem in the U.S, because I never heard of this problem on european cars, at least 335i.

maybe the gas?

I had 2 of them exchanged on my 325i.
I think most of them are actually the same part. In the 3 series l6 at least.

I am just waiting for the 3rd time and the dealer saying the car is out of warranty .
That is going to be a !VERY! interesting discussion.

I made that comment in a thread regarding that award and the hpfp failures...I as abruptly informed then that the hpfp is not part of the engine, and the award is for design, not reliability
