Fuel Pump/ Strange?
I drove a 120 mile or so round trip yesterday. No signs of pump failure before trip. On the way there on the interstate this is what happened. Going 80mph, with the flow of traffic. 6th gear around 2900 rpms. Went around a car and barely gave it some more gas. Boom, goes into limp mode. Pull over, shut it off, wait a few minutes. Cranked her up and went on my way. Coming back it did the same thing under exactly the same circumstances. This time when I pulled over to a stop it shuddered like a manual car in too high a gear at a slow crawl. Not a rough shake, but a 2 second shake anyway. All I can say is, weird. Anybody else had this happen? :mad:

11/06 build. I got in this morning , no problem. Fired right up. I am going to Stett Performance at lunch to pull codes before I mess with the dealer. You guys said "exactly what happened right before mine died". So, this thing could die, for good, anywhere anytime? Shiv, at Vishnu wants to look at my code print out. He is unsure. Your responses seem to make it clear.I guess mileage really doesn't matter. 6510 on mine. I will frig'n get a 335 or better for a loaner! Just, I think, got approved for oil cooler install and this shit. Texans don't drink beer......

Well. It just did it again. EXACT same scenario. Interstate, poof. BMW dealer said. " Bring it in. We will open a PUMA? file. Made a call on your VIN. Should have your car back w/i a week". What and who can I trust? Now I just saw a thread 2nd pump fails! ooooo yehhhh. This is awesome. Oh..I called the parts counter at my dealership and another dealership, before I called my SM. 180 & 181 pumps back ordered. This is nationwide.
