2010 35i Fuel pump issue....very bad BMW

x6er · 06-06-2010, 09:21 AM

Hi all,
Yesterday, my X6 35i had no power on startup...the car won't go. I also got a message that said something like engine problem, loss of power...
is this the HPFP issue that was in the N54 engines 2008 and 2009...I thought that the problem disappeard in 2010, did any 2010 owners have this problem?
I also have been noticing that the car takes a longer time to start...it cranks longer than it used to...anybody else noticing the same?

My 2010 35i had a catastrophic hpfp failure while I was doing 40 mph. The car had to be towed to the dealer because it wouldn't operate at all.

Sure sounds like it....Man, you would've thought BMW (or their supplier) would have had this fixed by 2010...

Had it happen to my 500 mile 2010 35i as well. The fix was quick but the problem is still there so I traded it in on the X6M.

BMW is swapping mine out for a 2011 X6 50i thanks to excellent help from my dealer.

Unless u know it's less than 10 % ethanol & u can trust whoever supplier is, stay away from ethanol blends.
Talk to ur service dept. for accurate info.on ethanol.
