OT: BMW with N54 engine….Class action suit/recall….

[Ren]

One more thing – the 996 model (1998–2005 911) had unusually high numbers of engine failures due to design flaws. Because of this, their resale is terrible, hence the great deals you’re seeing. Some will say that if a 996 motor goes 50k miles without failing, then it’s not going to fail, but the last thing you want to do is pay for a new 911 engine. The 993 (mid-90’s, last of the air cooled 911s) have better resale and are gorgeous, but they’re aging and could end up being a money pit in their own way. If you’re thinking 911, the 997 (2006+) is the way to go. They’re also pretty expensive, unfortunately.

Lol……. Looks like the N55 isn’t going to be immune from this either 🙂

I have to unfortunately inform everyone that I own a 2011 335i with the n55 motor and I have just had my fuel pump fail. The car is only 2 months old and only has 1500 miles. As always, it started with longer cranks, then an unbelievably odd start where it idle surged, then dropped rpm’s and I finally get the infamous half engine light. (see attachment!) I take it in and they read the code, yep; fuel pump failure! It is currently getting worked on and should have it back by next week. It is ridiculous that this problem hasn’t been fixed after 4 years and a new engine! Just wanted to share…

The difference before BMW nerfed the N54 after our 3rd HPFP? Yes, very much so. My 06′ 330i (with sprint booster) feels much more sprite. The N55 felt like the the “old” N54. In other words – badfawkingazz!
