Yep, march 2014 build, about 9000 miles but I had no warning. I was just cruising down normally. Wasn't even being too spirited since I don't want a speeding ticket just for trying to get home a little quicker. I don't know if you should be worried but.... look at the quote below V

I think the mileage is the same, but odd...

The fuel pump on my 1M went at 10K miles and it was also supposedly fixed from the earlier fuel pump models that failed. Early on, BMW blamed fuel quality but again...hmmmm yours was brand new, seems crazy that bad fuel would've killed it so quickly. Anyway, thanks for the update and glad your're on the road!

I don't think it's bad fuel.. at least I've always put in 93 and at minimum (maybe a total of four times 91) although I know grade is not the same as quality but still, and seeing other people report their case is getting a little troubling. |
Just curious (mostly out of ignorance) a March 2014 build is still a 2014 228i right not a 2015? I always seem to confuse the time of year the new ones come out
