I just paid 33k for a brand new car, 300hp AWD, heated seats,mirrors,windsheild,18"wheels,xenon headlights,ipod intergration,sat radio…and in my humble opinon…it looks quite nice too. > [@Clean Baldy](#): > > regarding looks… I think the BMW is pretty sporty looking with a nice luxury touch and plenty of extra features. For around $34k you can get a 335XI with a 100k mile warranty until 2014. (including sport pkg, premium pkg, comfort access, sirius radio, ipod integration, xenon adaptive headlights, 18" sport wheels) > > What else do you prefer that has AWD and 300HP/300TQ? I’m not trying to start an argument, I’m just curious on your opinion. 🙂 ---

From being in Colorado with AR Design. we knew BMW had tons of issues and they did indeed turn down boost on cars when problems happened instead of doing a turbo update. Seeing logs i remember after a issue with 1 of the bmw’s . They had the boost turned down to 5psi I know a few cars who went through 5-8 fuel pumps in less then 2 years per car plus 2 engines. ’ in stock form’ all 335 / 135’s Glad a suit was filed… ---

i don’t see a real fix every coming for the high pressure pumps, they’ve upgraded the part about 5 times or so now and they still fail. mine went at 8000 and my second one is about to go soon at 21,000 miles. i replace them all the time, and BMW makes a huge process just to get one replaced under warranty(as if they dont know they are junk) i haven’t had any of the newer style turbos come back for wastegate noises, except one member’s on here and we’ve tried just about everything to take care of it, and it still rattles. shitty design. ---

there has to be a solution out there for high pressure pumps. it is not like they are in uncharted waters here. DI has been out for quite some time in the diesel world. I wonder if the issue is that gas does not lubricate as well as diesel and that is part of the reason for the failures on the pumps. I have not herd the issue on the DI 3.5L from ford. I wonder if this will be a issue that will start popping up in a couple years as they age. ---

I tried to get my turbos done due to a slight rattle on startup… bmw claimed it was normal, and it goes away after 2-3 minutes… (which is true, it quiets down to almost no noise at all) BUT, i did have my original fuel pump go around 30k miles… Second one is still going strong, however, my locks have been acting up lately… thank god for warranty. ---

The locks are a common issue on these, they will likely blow the fuse and stop working. The latches werent designed to spec and can/will draw too much amperage and blow the fuse. The fix is usually to replace both front latches. There is an SIB but it may only be for the E90/E91 (4 door/wagon) As for the N54 itself, there are now 3 recalls out, depending on production date. One is to replace the high pressure fuel pump, one to update dme software, and another to check/replace the fuel injectors. I would stay away from one unless it has a good amount of warranty left. Some/ most of them have extended warranties on atleast the high pressure fuel pump, i think 10 years/100,000 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bmw-class-action-lawsuit-2007-2010-n54-twin-turbo-engine/161439.md?page=1)
