Was looking at this pump was wondering if anyone had success with it or if you could point me to the new version for a good price! Might be the cause of my 30ff code in my car and the pump has been already replaced before. Thank you

Should be covered by the extended warranty.

My worry is that they have already changed the pump and don't want to take it to the dealership for a 200 dollar check up to not have them change it..

is 30ff your only code? that could be a lot of things, not just fuel pump. if you are under warranty, why not take it in? obviously something isn't right, so warranty should fix it

They will change it under warranty for free as many times as needed. They did mine 5 times. It's not a one time change.

My car has had 3 HPFPs before I owned it. I've had one replaced.
Oh and I'm just over 80k miles.

Lol I've been trying to have mine replaced for almost 2 years! Bastards deny, deny, deny.

Do they charge an inspection fee?

Go to a different stealership.

Not that I'm aware of.

Common. The early pumps blew after 15,000 miles due to ethanol being introduced and it eating the seals. The new ones don't have that problem.

What are your symptoms? Long crank start, limp mode, jerky acceleration =dead pump. If you have these they should replace. You can call bmwusa and complain the warranty isn't being honored. They will complain downhill for you. They will wait until it fails sometimes. My guys replaced after symptoms were present for a couple thousand miles. Pump had to tell the computer it was bad first.

Next time it goes into limp mode drive it in and leave it running. That should be enough.

All of the above, persisting for ~2 years. Brought in roughly 10 times between 3 different dealerships. Called BMWNA, who told me they can't assist if the dealer isn't finding anything wrong. Most recently had trans replaced (3rd trans in 60k!). Driving it off the lot, car went into limp mode. Can't recall exactly what they replaced, but it wasn't the fuel pump.

Interested to see how this will play out over the winter also. Last winter, the car would die every morning on cold starts. I would have to keep revving it until it could hold idle. This was also with a catless downpipe in, which currently isn't on the car.

Keep reving it doesn't sound like a hpfp. Bring it in and say fix. Hpfp or not it's not running right. Talk to the shop manager and explain your symptoms. I never had to rev to keep it running.possibly a vanos issue, computer issue, or injector issue for example.

Already been through all that repeatedly. VANOS recall done as well. Going to see if there are any issues once the cold weather gets here. If not, I'll put downpipe back in and see if the issues come back. Oddly enough, after having the MAF replaced, I only get long cranks in one singular spot: the 5th floor of our parking garage at the office. Literally does not happen anywhere else, which is baffling.

If I don't drive it the day before it will have a slight slow crank start also when going around 4-5k rpm the light goes on but I don't loose any power at all just light gets triggered. So all I do is go to dealership and say my hpfp is bad and they will check this without having me pay a fee? I bought this car off a 3rd party and I'm the 3rd owner

[Fundguy1]

Yes. The hpfp should store a bad code in the computer. They just plug in the key and see what codes you have. The extended warranty on them I believe is 120,000 miles and unlimited time.

Well the thing about it was 2 of those 4 pumps were the most up to date one. So they aren't perfect by any means.

I wish they would've fixed the issue instead of just slightly extending the warranty.

Just a general question about the hpfp warranty...my car has a salvage title due to a minor front end collision...my question is, does the warranty still cover the hpfp?
