Another one bites the dust!
Yesterday I experienced my first semi long crank. It was maybe half a second longer of a crank than it normally was, but I experienced no problems while driving. Just about an hour ago, I turned my car on and the crank took about 2 seconds longer than expected, and this is where I knew things were going downhill. I decided to drive to my friends house anyway, because it was only my second long crank, but right before I got there, things got bad. The car lost most power (but at this point I got no SES or engine sign) and felt very hesitant, almost like a go cart. I turned it off for a few minutes but decided to go back home immediately. I turned it back on, and everything was completely fine. No hesitation, no long crank, nothing! Unfortunately, about a mile away from my house I got the SES light, the half engine sign, and the go cart feeling. I'm sure it's the HPFP, as this problem is prevelant on the forum and the symptoms I experienced are the same ones that other HPFP failures experience.
My main concern is, will it be ok to turn the car on tomorrow morning and drive to the BMW dealership, which is about 3-4 miles away? Thanks for the help!

Ive read here that it is both ways, sometimes ive read people drive 100 miles limping, mine was like that. I was almost home from a 700 mile round trip to Monterey from So. Cal and it gave up in Ventura, about 75 miles away. I drove home just fine at frwy speeds but no boost. Others ive read it goes and thats it... Dead, zip, nada, etc...
So.. The question is....Do you feel lucky? Lol sry. Best of luck but Id have someone standing by on this one to pick you up. Just in case. |

This will be one of many trips. On your first visit they're going to do a software update as a band-aid remedy. But don't worry, it will go into limp mode again. Second visit they will do some "diagnostics". Again, give it a chance, it will fail. Third visit they will wash your car and use it in their showroom for a couple of days. Next visit they will run some liquid drano through it. Those tough clogs won't stand a chance.
