Brought my car in last week for the software update (I already have the 'new' pump). Had to bring it back on Sat to have a piece of trim replaced and the dealer tells me there is now a campaign to test and/or replace the injectors.

Yup, my second HPFP (the supposed good improved design part) crapped out two weeks ago. The software update was performed when the second HPFP was installed. Had it towed to the dealer. No power and white/blue smoke out the exhaust as it started to destruct. Installed the third HPFP and they replaced 5 out of 6 injectors. Appears to be running fine now. Only 5 weeks left till lease return. Hasta la vista.

Had HPFP replaced after several Limp modes, got new HPFP and stock sw, gotfor GIAC reflashed again, car ran fine since May 2010.

Two weeks ago, she went in for some minor repairs, was told recall for injectors, 4 were replaced, did not get sw overwritten . Car ran the same.

GL gents!

I didn't get any recall letter or wasn't told anything about the injector recall, if my vehicle is running fine can I call them up and still ask to have them replaced?

They seem to be rolling the recall out in waves. Hasn't appeared they have went in any sort of order (model year, etc.), my guess is it has more to do with making sure the supply of parts doesn't get blown out.

Was taking my car in today to get the battery replaced (Increased battery discharge), and mentioned to them that I had heard they were replacing the injectors on 535i's. The guy basically told me he didn't know of any injectors needing to be replaced on my vehicle.
