Description of the problem	On sunday may 10, 2009, i was driving my bmw 335 when i experienced the car shaking and breaking down. I had it towed to the bmw dealership to be notified that the high pressure fuel pump failed and it was because i used 15% ethanol gas. This is absurd as i have been using the gas recommended by bmw and i have all the receipts to prove it, all gas in new york state contains the legal 10% ethanol so i don't see how any consumer could know if the ethanol percentage is higher than what they are putting in. The hpfp is a huge problem in many 335 models and bmw has even issued a recall over it in the past, the problem is still not fixed. This is a fault in the fuel pump and bmw is attempting to pin it on bad gas and trying to deny warranty coverage.
