I know the cars go through a lot of testing at the ring and this may be some other issue but if this is a HPFP failure issue in the next gen 3 series again then I am really starting to lose confidence in BMW's build quality and engineering departments...

:(

Not the best sight to see at all, but it's a bit premature to assume it's a HPFP failure.

Are you seriously losing confidence because a test mule has a problem on the race track?

This should give you confidence that they are finding problems that they can solve!

Its a test car!
