Another HPFP Saga

pit1 · 02-06-2009, 09:02 AM

Two weeks ago I brought her in for a few long cranks and one SEL. They claimed no faults. Last night I get the long crank and the yellow light we all dread so much. Damn that thing was slow. If I let it fall to idle I would stall. Traffic was a juggle of gas and brake application. Heel toe was a huge help.

Tried bmw roadside and scheduled a 7am pickup. At 7:15 I called and they had no record of my request. So I'm still sitting at the dealer battling for a loaner car. The 1er was prepped with a snows and roof rack and all for a ski trip this afternoon.

I would be so upset if I hadn't brought it in two weeks ago for the long crank, lag and throttle hesitation.
Thank god this didn't happen in WV.

That sucks. The handling of the HPFP failures has just been horrible on BMW's part, and I'm willing to be it shows in the next round of quality/satisfaction surveys that hit the press.
