I suspect this is the installed PN on most MY 2011 N54's. There are unsubstanciated reports of a PN "402" pumps on the newer N55's. For me 4500 miles and HPFP has not yet (knock on wood) experienced any long cranks at startup. Regardless of the ABC report I doubt that BMW would make such a public statement if they weren't close to a long term solution to the problem be it a 933, 402 or other PN HPFP. We can only hope!

I'm checking with my Dinan installer on when Dinan will have updated software available to track with the new HPFP, assuming that part of the recall will be new BMW software that will override the Dinan flash and assuming that Dinan will have to also update its software. In past experience, a Dinan software update reinstallation necessitated by a mandatory BMW software update will be free of charge by the Dinan dealer.

Will post info when I have it.

"I'm sure DINAN will be saying something about this very soon. I'd say to hold out as long as you can so we have software for you when they upgrade your car."
