tjnptel1 · 07-19-2007, 09:31 AM

my loaner is now showing signs of fuel pump failure. :mad:

Zephyr15 · 07-19-2007, 09:33 AM

Woof.

mkoesel · 07-19-2007, 09:40 AM

Can't you simply take the loaner back and get another one?

Sorry guy, but ROFLMAO. It should be part of the Maintenance program, every 6000 miles - change the fuel pump.

This is why I'll never buy a first year BMW again. My 01 M3 spend 28 days in the shop over a 6 month period.

Who are we kidding, they can't keep the 335i on the lot long enough for a bird to crap on it. I knew about the fuel pump issue and still bought one off the lot. So far @2800 without an issue, May 07 build.

OP too bad about the loaner....good luck

omg516 · 07-19-2007, 10:10 AM

Just ask for a 328 loaner, problem fixed!

ToddMcF2002 · 07-19-2007, 10:16 AM

Lost business LOL.

BMW isnt selling cars based on Consumer Reports reliability ratings!

tjnptel1 · 07-19-2007, 10:24 AM

my loaner has 1500 miles on it and it starting to shrug at traffic lights.

ACZakka325i · 07-19-2007, 10:39 AM

The only kind of car i've ever owned was a 325i. But after all this, i def will be looking at other brands after im done with this car. This is beyond rediculous.

You say that now, but go test drive a 335i (actually don't), its like crack to a crackhead

tjnptel1 · 07-19-2007, 10:45 AM

the car had the same manufacturing date as my car. So i think this was part of that bad bunch of pumps. Hopefully, it's fixed now with the new cars.

Is there still a shortage of replacement pumps? How long have you been without your car?

Revlis · 07-19-2007, 10:58 AM

Pisser, but really.... "This Cannot Be happening to me" A little over dramatic yeah? It's a freaking car... A luxury car at that, it's nothing needed for survival, you don't have cancer and parts are not falling off of you far as we know. It's not your wife or partner in the hospital, it's not your Child being diagnosed with a life threatening illness....

So,

It's LITTLE SHIT, irritant maybe, but if you are OMG over this? Just wait until something important comes along, you'll need to hold on tight.

Don't Sweat the Little shit... And if you aren't out in the middle of the Sahara when your car dies? It's little shit. ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS...

+1. Sorry to hear.

you use high octane (93+) shell gas right?

E90ice · 07-19-2007, 11:17 AM

You know what? I hope my car's fuel pump goes out. So I can either lemon it and get another brand new 335 or get my money back and get another new 335i. It would save me 7500 miles that I have put on this car already.

f30er · 07-19-2007, 11:23 AM

lol, i'm really sorry but thats just funny....i'd wait for it to go out completely, and then call BMWNA and ask for some serious compensation...maybe a comp'd night at a strip club??
