Fuel pump "campaign" ?

I received a voice message from my local BMW dealer that my 2014 M235i should be brought in for a campaign repair. So I returned the call and asked
what was up. The service department lady said a fuel input device had to be replaced, free of charge. I replied, "the fuel pump?" She said she didn't know.

So I did some brief research and it seems the fuel pump is the culprit - some sort of nickel plating issue.

Car goes in Wednesday. Anyone else had this done to their car?

Wow! I can't wait to be told I need a "fuel-input device." And the fact that she had no idea what it was is icing on the cake.

I heard about this when I bought my car in 2021. The guy I bought it from was going to get it done before I came to pick it up, but the part was back ordered.

Since that dealership is almost 10 hours away I never went back to get it done.
I should call a dealer near me.

Thanks for the reminder!!

I took my M235i to the dealer early this morning. I asked the service agent for an explanation and yep, its the low pressure fuel pump in the gas tank.
