Got my HPFP warranty letter from BMWNA
Although I have had no issues with the high pressure fuel pump, BMW has expanded the warranty to include ALL 2008/2009 N54 engines for 10 years or 120k miles.
My letter was directed at X6 owners, but I suspect the warranty cover all 2007-2009 engines regardless of model.

All N54, 6 cylinder, twin turbo engines. The V8 is not an N54.

It irks me that while those Toyotas were actively unsafe in only a tiny percentage of vehicles, the n54 engine is passively unsafe in millions of cars around the US. The N54 HPFP has took my view of BMW engines down a notch.

Forums have overblown the HPFP issue. Yes you lose some power, you drive in limp mode and get the issue resolved. But few cars have the issue. It only seems like a lot due to forum hysteria. |

Reputation destroyed !
In Toyota's case, over 40 years of established reputation of reliability is being reduced to dust by a couple of components that probably does not cost anymore than $50 wholesale to make. ! Heard in the news problems have now spread to some Lexus vehicles.
Hats off to the genius that made the policy to stonewall & deny the problem existed in the beginning. Some manufacturers don't learn anything from the Audi debacle in the late '70"s when 60 Minutes did a show on the "sudden acceleration syndrome". Last edited by archwerks; 02-26-2010 at 12:21 AM.. |

Audi never really recovered from the 70's failures, they gave up trying to sell to the Toyota crowd and have tried to remake themselves as competing with MB & BMW. They have found it tough to sell in their cars in volume at MB/BMW prices, hard to do when you can't find many people driving 5 year old Audi's on the street.
