Fuel pump failure symptoms? (video attached)

Dead fuel pump, no ETA




Here is a video of a normal start on my 335i. This is when it's warm and has been running until it reaches 240F. Shut off for not more than 30min.

This is the same 335i starting cold after more than 6hrs of parking, usually overnight. It's been about 2 weeks of this nonsense now...

I had a time once when it was much worse, but I wasn't capturing on video at the time. I have been recording it daily to so they cannot argue with me once I take it in.


I will post some more vids if I get another nasty episode of slow crank.

Here is the bad crank, check the RPMs and the sound while it's trying to crank:
