Thumbs down My 3rd fuel pump in 20 months

sigh...i give up

http://s793.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=GOPR0015.mp4

I'm selling it, i thought i could handle it, but its honestly not worth the trouble anymore.

This car was primarily driven by my son, now that he's graduated and working, probably just gonna get him an outback.

No problems here yet, but we only have the car for six months with 3400 miles.

This is impossible as we were told by an unreliable source that there are 0 problems.

Your son drove it not you which makes your findings irrelevant.

That's strange too. I keep hearing that if you're not the owner, then it didn't happen. Bunch of internet rumors.....................................................

That sucks man.

Sure would be nice if BMW could figure out how to add in reliability to the "ultimate driving machine".

I love the attitude of BMW owners...

<Them> "This is the best car in the world!"
<Them> "There's nothing that comes close to this car!"
<Them> "It's just an incredible thing to drive!"
<Them> "I can't imagine driving anything else!"

<Me> "Would you ever own one that was out-of-warranty?"

<Them> "Oh Hell no!!!"
