bigmoneygrip · 01-09-2009, 08:20 AM

Just bought an 07 335i with 16,800 miles on it. Fuel pump went out on me 4 days after getting it. Very bad timing, but covered under a recall. I would check to see if this has been replaced or not yet. If not, I would probably get it replaced since the recall is out there.

make sure original owner is >60 yrs old

I'm 25 and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to buy my 335 after what I've done to it...
