THAT is the $64,000 question, my friend  . I'd make sure my car wasn't a guinea pig. If it has been done before, chances of full success are much higher. Still can't believe this is happening to owners of brand new cars, after 3+ freaking years of production. Unbelievable. Mine can be affected too as it has the 'old' bearings. But even new ones are failing  . I feel for you guys. No more complicated cars for me after this. |
I don't know if rhythmic is the word to describe it. As described earlier in this thread, it's irregular/erratic; there is no definitely no rhythm/pattern to it.
Truly though, as a former owner of 335i (with HPFP problems), I really hate to say it but I am used to this BS a little bit. If it's the bearings, then so be it. If there is a problem, then it needs to be fixed. My concern is how long the car will sit there at the dealership. At least I have the loan with me for now but I am growing a little tired of this...
