zero issues with it so far. It seems like random thing, i know of people going through 3 or 4 HPFP before they hit 40K miles, but i'm still on the original with no signs of a failure coming.
The only thng i've had to do is change the spark plugs, i was getting misfires when i tried to run the stage 2+ agressive maps. I ordered a set of plugs and swapped 'em out and it's been running great ever since.

Ohh, and BMW covers the fuel system for 10 years 150,000 miles. After that it, wouldn't be that expensive/hard to DIY a HPFP or injector swap.

So far it's pretty much only the n54 that has DI. And it is a random issue like he said.

I'm interested to see how the N54 used in the 1M goes, it uses a different HPFP(now refered to as a High Pressure Exchange Pump) and rumor has it that it's the solution to the HPFP woes. I guess time will tell.

Horse Power Freaks has a single turbo 335i up and running that is going to be using a secondary fuel rail to supplement the DI system. I'd like to see what power the stock engine can hold.
