Everyone has heard of the issues with the HPFP in the early 335's. I had some issues with a 2008 535 that I had. Was that problem resolved by the time they put that engine in the Z4 in 2009? Were there any other issues with the first year of the new model? I am interested in not just mechanical issues but lesser ones too. For example, some though the sound system volume was way too low unless you had the premium sound package.
I am looking to upgrade from my 2006 3.0si to a CPO 2009 35 and want to make sure I don't miss something.
The Z4 had the same HPFP issues until 2010. The dealer will have the vehicle repair history and can tell you if the the HPFP has been replaced. If it has, find out the part number of the pump because several earlier attempts to correct the problem didn't work because the new pump was still not good. The latest version is good and you can find that part number by going to www.realoem.com and drilling down to the part. Compare the part numbers.
No other significant issues with the car.
Thanks for the reply and the good advice. I am limiting my potential cars to ones that will be covered CPO so I don't have to worry about that problem as much. I think BMW added time to the warranty for problems associated with the HPFP.
Yes, the new Z 35 is a beast. I just sold my z4 yesterday. I am still looking for the right z4 35, but for 15k more I can get a 650 vert. I am doing a national CPO search for both. I decided I may want a back seat even though it would be very small. My son will still let me take his z for a spin if I do that.
If you go to DOT. They have a complete list of anything that has gone wrong with the Z4. Mostly things that have gone wrong with the 35i. Minor things with 30i.
I have a CPO 2009 35i that had the HPFP replaced before I purchased it. Dealer confirmed for me that the replacement pump is warranted for 10 years, 100k miles so no worries. He also printed out a detailed list of all work performed on the car. And yes, the 35i is a blast to drive!!
