New HP fuel pump supplier

islandbimmer · 05-31-2007, 10:31 PM

Siemens just got punted, I know lots of people are PO'd but it appears the fuel pump issue was really one of a supplier just not being able to get it right. Now aren't you glad you waited for a 2008 like I'm doing.

Not really. I am glad though I don't live in Canada though.

Does the 2008 get the LED brake lights? Having been rear-ended by slow reacting drivers, I could really use that extra 0.7 seconds.

qft, haha i find that really funny

Crazy Bimmer · 06-01-2007, 12:07 AM

bosch is gonna make the new pumps.

As for waiting for 08, nope. Price increases suck so I rather have the 07.

wj4 · 06-01-2007, 12:08 AM

Do we have concrete detail of this confirmation or is this just another "My SA told me" type deal?

Crazy Bimmer · 06-01-2007, 12:12 AM

My info was from a friend who works at Bosch in MI.

Who knows if its 100% true. Guess we will find out

daveyg · 06-01-2007, 12:19 AM

If this is true, I wonder if the fact that Bosch is located in the U.S. will help increase the rate of replenishing here in the states.

purplewidow · 06-01-2007, 12:51 AM

no i have no prblems whatsoever though only 3k though...hahaha love her more every day i got all the ain updates with the march production anyways!!!

AndrewAZ · 06-01-2007, 02:06 AM

Not to bad mouth Bosch... 90% of the things that failed on my old Mercedes were Bosch parts... So dont expect any better quality..

epiphone3 · 06-01-2007, 09:06 AM

anyone know when the new supplier came into effect?

Gort · 06-01-2007, 09:10 AM

New supplier does not necessarily imply a better supplier. I bet those of us that bought the '07s are enjoying driving them more than the '08 customers are having "thinking" about them.

mesier1111 · 06-01-2007, 09:11 AM

I never ever blamed BMW, I knewit wasn't their fault that a vendor dropped the ball. I still

my car and the company that built it

0.7 seconds? Really? Amazing how LEDs can come on almost 3/4 of a full second faster than the current brake lights...

The Cleaner · 06-01-2007, 09:39 AM

The current 335 Coupes have LED's. I keep reading about people wanting LED's they are on already, the light bars are illuminated via LED's.

The Cleaner · 06-01-2007, 09:41 AM

Oh and I am not glad I waited for 2008, I am still one of only 4 335 Coupes I have seen on the road since I got my car.

E90Fleet · 06-01-2007, 09:47 AM

Just checked the June parts update, out today

No change in the pump numbers yet
