But i'm outta here. BMWNA is buying back my 2009 335i e92 due to too many HPFP replacements and i just got sick and tired of dealing with it. But i wanted to let you all know its been great and this forum has been amazing and informative. i wish you luck on your HPFP. As for my new toy, i just ordered a 2011 Ford SVT SuperCrew Raptor. I need to go back to a 4X4 so i can go snowboarding, and why not do it in style.

HPFP FAIL. Lol

Why not give another model BMW a chance?

Vanilla_Gorilla · 06-02-2011, 05:30 PM

I thought about that, like getting a used e92 M3, but i really want a truck and really want a 4X4. I'll be back with a 535i for my wife next year.

Will do!!! I order it with the sunroof, Raptor package and the luxury package. I kept it simple. I also order it in the oxford White, since the black is on back order until October due to the issues going on in Japan.

Stay tuned for pix though, sometime around the end of July.

Elliott@DetailAddict · 06-02-2011, 06:46 PM

Sick! Can you detail what's in the Raptor and Luxury packages?
Don't want to google right now lol

Dr. Nate · 06-02-2011, 06:51 PM

Why does black paint and black plastic interior parts have to do with Japan? I figured they just made that stuff in Mexico. Those SVT Raptors are sick.

He is not allowed to respond to that question as it would be a violation of his agreement and he'd get sued by BMW - and they would prevail.

Look up lemon laws to determine the formula that is used.

Apparently the pigment used for the black paint comes out of Japan...go figure.

No where in my agreement does it say i cannot talk about the deal, but without giving specifics, i'm getting everything back minus the amount of mileage used prior to the first incident. Needless to say, BMWNA is taking care of me and i'll be back.

E92 to Ford Raptor is quite a switch. But I can understand the fuel pump frustration, having gone through it myself- in two different cars now. I must say though, having "driven a Ford lately," they are much better cars that they were ten years ago. I drove the '11 Mustang GT with the 5.0 liter earlier this year and I would seriously consider buying it. On top of that, it got an insanely good review from Top Gear America as I recall. Enjoy!

Yeah, i would have never considered a Ford 5 years ago, but now, they have really improved. The Raptor is a beast! The Raptor also got great reviews from Top Gear USA, they loved it, so i'm sure i'll love it too.

Ford is improving, but from e92 to truck......if you needed an excellent AWD, S4 would be nice for that

I would not buy another BMW if my last 1 was always in the shop.

Sure, let's compare sedans to PUs now.
