Not sure where this should go ...
having owned a 2004 cobra, I frequent the www.svtperformance.com website ... I saw this post and am wondering ...... I never heard of what this guy is talking about (says he is a BMW service tech).

Sounds like he is just rehashing old info about the engine. AFAIK, all these issues have been resolved. You always run into issues when something brand new comes out. BMW just needed to work out some of the bugs. All covered under warranty. The only issue is the inconvenience of having to take the car in.

I was talking to him in that thread...
He was saying that the new HPFP is not in new cars, only for fixes, and that there are LPFP issues also... Not sure if he's actually a tech or not. Also thought it was interesting that the fellow over in Germany said he read that the 135i beat the new M3 around BMW's test track. We've heard that before, but it sounds like he read it in print.

can't speak of other dealers but in our shop the number of hpfp's replaced has gone down drastically over the past few months. as far as lpfp issues, i've only seen one that had a lpfp pressure sensor go bad. the n54 has been pretty reliable.
