Description of the problem | I believe you have received many complaints about this. The high pressure fuel pump on the n54 engine in my 2008 335xi has gone bad twice in the past month. I am very tired of this problem and i have not seen any evidence of bmw doing anything to fix this hazard to the owners of these cars. There will be long cranks starting the car and after a few days/weeks the fuel pump will fail. It fails pretty often it seems. My first one failed around 27,500 miles and my second one failed today at just under 29,200 miles a month after i replaced the first pump. I have the old part in my garage and i'll have a second one as soon as i receive and install my next pump. |
