Help My Car Died

PJCAR335I · 11-29-2008, 10:40 PM

I have a 2008 335I coupe it has 2300 miles on it and today the car stopped and will not run and the engine light comes on.

I start it again and it just stops I know I need to take it in but anyone have this trouble with such a new car.

I am a little disappointed about this.

Thanks any info would be appreciated.

car still under warranty...get it to the dealership and let them figure it out....roadside assistance should come pick up the car if it won't drive...

Is there gas in it?

it's the fuel pump...bring it in...they'll replace the pump...BMW SD service is good.

Fuel Pump at 2300 miles that's not good

you need to read the forums more often. fuel pump failure is the most common failure of all.

PJCAR335I · 11-30-2008, 07:52 PM

So do Fuel pumps go out all the time or just once?

Thanks for your help I appreciate it I am new I will start reading more.

Some people it has only happened to once, but some over 3 times. All depends on the pump. You might get one that wont go out for awhile or it might go out within a week or two. Who knows

I think at this point they are replacing bad HPFPs (high pressure fuel pumps) with new ones that have the 'problem' fixed. I dunno where I read that, somewhere on this forum.

The new ones have still died. Not really fixed, just the fuel pump lasts longer or something along those lines. I know it is a new unit, but I am certain they are probably still manufactured the same way they were in the beginning...well almost

Yes it was the fuel pump thanks everyone.
