How many people with 2009 models have had HPFP failure?

danchang79 · 10-14-2009, 01:05 AM

Btw, mine failed at around 6000 miles

335i_LeMans_pkgmax · 10-14-2009, 06:51 AM

1. Yes
2. No (Picked up the car 3 weeks ago only ~500 miles, but topic is of much interest to me)

Hopefully its a sensor problem or injector, cuz I really dont want to be part of this HPFP statistic....

2009 E92 335i M-Sport Package. 1,260 miles.

Its obvious why the pump is failing.....
If you read a thread about the HPFP problem, your HPFP will fail

e90fanatic · 10-14-2009, 08:58 AM

anybody interested in getting a class action together? Merc owners did that before for their navigation problem

15k miles and Im on my 3rd one

BimmerPod · 10-14-2009, 09:27 AM

having had 2 different 335i's with HPFP problems (the first one had more problems on top of HPFP issues so it was bought back), I personally do not believe it when people say "the isssue is overblown, it's not as bad as the forums make it sound..."

it's a huge f'in problem.

BimmerPod · 10-14-2009, 09:39 AM

09 with 6600 miles, 2 HPFP failures. On my 3rd pump

Anyone who says "HPFP issue is overblown, forums make it seem worse than it is" is full of shit. This is my 2nd 335i (first one was bought back due to 3 HPFP failures within 1500 miles, among other issues). The problem is bigger than what it seems, not smaller. Think of all the people that don't go on forums that have issues.

dencoop · 10-14-2009, 09:41 AM

2009 335i E93 M-Sport 6MT
2,870 Miles
April Build ('09) ED pick up in May
Started Having the long Crank issue a few weeks back
Last week got the Check Engine Light
This week the Check Engine Light went off on its own (have no clue why?)
Sometimes it starts without the Long crank dont know why?
Will be bringing it to the dealer ASAP - Iam thinking based on what everyone else states that it will be a HPFP, if it is then I will update the thread...

Looks like you can get another buyback with 3 pumps.
I'm just wondering why you would get another 335 after a buyback?

jeremicium · 10-14-2009, 10:08 AM

May 2009 build 335. HPFP failed at 4800 miles.

str86diesel · 10-14-2009, 10:40 AM

Just replaced the HPFP in my wife's 09 E90. Car had 9000 miles on it and we only use Shell fuel.

srcstc · 10-14-2009, 11:38 AM

What octane fuel do you guys put in your cars?

umzzy · 10-14-2009, 11:41 AM

1. Yes
2. Yes...I just joined the infamous HPFP club yesterday.

vrrooom · 10-14-2009, 12:04 PM

First week of production for 2009 E90

first pump long crank - 3200 miles

second pump reduced power lights/ 318 experience - 11500 miles

Alan l. · 10-14-2009, 12:41 PM

Seems like the majority of the 09 failures is from early 09 builds or late 08. I don't really see anyone after april/may build with HPFP failure? It could just be that recent builds like mines just doesn't have enough mileage to really tell yet.

July build 09 Msport (1900miles)
So far so good....

There's been Apr/May '09 builds with FP replacements.It's been posted there's a '10 535 and X6 that have had a FP issue.
It seems the '09s are worse than the previous years.

Zirenz2006 · 10-14-2009, 12:51 PM

I have a March build 09 and have had the pump replaced at about 6,000 miles

Moriarty30 · 10-14-2009, 01:29 PM

- 2009 335i E90 AT
- April 2009 build
- 4000 miles

No HPFP issues [crosses fingers]

Nope, you can keep your class action suit. Ford owners did that with their Exploders. It was in the papers recently. End result after a few years of court proceedings: The Ford owners won their case: Yippeee. The Lawyer Firm handling the class action received $27 million. The 37,000 Ford owners in the class action each received a $500 voucher towards their next purchase of a FORD. The coupon was conditional too - including an expiration date. WooHoo. Let me get some of that.

I remember you getting your AW MSport getting delivered around the same time I got mine. I'm also a July build.

First long crank at 500 miles, SES light at 1,075 miles, new HPFP today.

There may be fewer with later 09 builds, but they are not immune.

Look three posts before this post of yours...my 335, May 09 build, hpfp replaced early october. Gotta give kudos to bmw northwest...I drove in, no-notice with the SES light on...at 9am on a saturday, they had the hpfp replaced and the car back to me by 4:30 pm that same day.

Mr.Black · 10-14-2009, 08:26 PM

Reading this thread has me nervous it doesn't happen to me. Only 2k miles though.
