Replying to: backy (Jun 16, 2009 2:59 pm) Any contact information so that I can look into this problem?
#4298 of 4446 Control arms? by kyfdx HOST Jun 21, 2009 (9:28 am)
The notice I got was about rear subframe failure... Shock mounts actually tearing away from the body of the car..   So far, it looks like the only payoff is reimbursement for any previous repair work, or inspection to see if you have the problem.   Neither of our two E46s had the problem, and we don't have either of them now, so I tossed the notices.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 21, 2009 9:28 am) I got the same notice... subframe. In addition to inspection, they will repair if damaged. I still have my '01 (155K and climbing!). I don't ~think~ I have the problem.. it seems like it would be noticable... but I will get mine inspected when/if the suit settles.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 21, 2009 9:28 am) Yes, subframe, thanks for the correction. I had control arms on the brain when I typed the post from a different car. I tossed my notice also since I don't have the E46 anymore. But as for contact info, I would think a search on google etc. would find that pretty quick--these attorneys want to be found.

Replying to: kominsky (Jun 22, 2009 10:28 am) Presumably the case has settled. That's why you got the notice. Replies to this message: venture (Jun 23, 2009 12:29 pm)

Replying to: ponytrekker (Jun 22, 2009 2:39 pm) The case is expected to settle around the first of September. You can opt out of the settlement with the notification. There is also a form to fill out and mail if you already had the repair made.   $1,100,500 attorney fees and $22,000 in expenses. Yikes!

Replying to: ez2do (Jun 08, 2009 7:04 am) AC in all three of my BMWs is limp at best. I used to complain but now recognize BMW puts weak AC compressors in their cars. Learn to live with it. Replies to this message: ez2do (Jun 29, 2009 4:24 am)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 28, 2009 8:46 pm) I am a bit surprised because the AC on my '03 X5 was quite capable and the kids were always comfortable when they controlled the rear AC. Thanks for the reply, good to hear some commentary.
#4305 of 4446 HPFP (fuel pump) acting up again by jmaroun Jun 30, 2009 (3:55 pm)
I bought a new 2008 335i (SA [South African build], sedan, manual, with sports package) about a year ago. Within 2-3 months of my purchase, got long crank up times and the dealer replaced the fuel pump. Lately, crank times have been creepping up again. This morning was the longest (about 6-7 seconds).   Very dissappointing. Sure they'll fix it for free I'm sure..but what about after the warrenty? I should have leased.   Joseph San Diego Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 30, 2009 6:14 pm)

Replying to: jmaroun (Jun 30, 2009 3:55 pm) Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator might be the problem. If that leaks down, the poor pump has to re-pressurize the entire fuel system every time you start up.
