SECOND fuel pump failed

NewhouseEnt · 04-23-2007, 01:07 PM

6,500 miles the first one, 10,200 miles second one. This absolutely SUCKS. Missing oil cooler.... I'm really starting to get pissed off with this car.

kingjod123 · 04-23-2007, 01:10 PM

damn! How long was it in for the first time? I am sorry to hear about this!

CASHBY · 04-23-2007, 01:12 PM

I have had a few issues with mine as well. I have never owned a BMW before and I think this will be my last. Service is horible, parts have been failing..etc but we have to expect this with a first generation car.

Hope everything works out for ya.

Wow!
thks for sharing this with us
... hope you get it fix.

...first year bugs

SoCal335i · 04-23-2007, 01:20 PM

Sorry to hear about your guys' problems, i have a 01/2007 production date E92 335i and it has not had one problem yet and i have about 3,000 miles. I really hope it stays that way.

dolby · 04-23-2007, 01:21 PM

7000 trouble free miles on my Oct 10/06 build 335.

Sorry about your fuel pump. Lucky so far here in that respect.

Twice! Ouch. Which Dealer in SOCAL did your work...did they try the software update first or just replace the pump each time?

RiXst3r · 04-23-2007, 02:13 PM

this is bad news... how many people have more than 4k miles on their second fuel pump? This might be the first person to log that many miles on a second pump...

BoostedBMW · 04-23-2007, 02:17 PM

Damn, i'm sorry to hear this.

That's ridiculous to have two fuel pumps fail on a brand new car.

Raider · 04-23-2007, 02:43 PM

one more fuel pump fails and i'd raise hell, get a new car...

good luck, tell the dealer, "3 strikes and ur out"...

I have 3,700 miles on the second pump. Just excellent when you're late for a business appointment, or worse, have clients or family in the car. Really impressive.

It's one thing for a new car to develop a squeak or have a speaker fail. But this is serious crap here. A major mechanical/ electrical part needed for the safe operation of the vehicle FAILS on a regular basis?

I’m thinking about sending a big old letter to JD Powers and Assoc. I was thinking about that M3. That will be in the same situation, a new model, with a lot more to go wrong than a 335i. I'm eyeballing other makes a lot harder.

Yes. This is bad. Kind of points to BMW maybe using the same pump as a replacement, and crossing their fingers. There might be no such thing as a "new" pump, in which case all the pumps have the potential to bite it.

I agree, that's unacceptable regardless of the car maker.

Raider · 04-23-2007, 04:21 PM

That's nice if you have that option, but unfortunately my POS local dealer here in Wilmington, NC doesn't offer loaner cars

so I am praying that nothing is wrong with my fuel pump when it gets here.
