I have a dealer supplied HPFP in my spares box. It was part of the replacement engine fiasco earlier this year. It came in a Bosch box with a BMW parts sticker number on it. The dealer charges around $1K for these. FCP do a Bosch kit for around $300.

 

FCP do a Bosch kit for around $300.

Not anymore.
The prices have skyrocketed in the past year.

Their kit is $745 now.

Can You help me confirm this is in fact the fuel pump for a 2013 X5 35i.... I keep getting mixed search results.. showing the one the OP posted and then showing the one you posted.... Which are def. Different.. Realoem.com when looking at fuel preparation and clicking on the HPFP say no compatible parts.. either I'm too tired to figure it out or I'm missing something.. any help would be appreciated as mine started failing tonite...

Fyi last 7 of the vin are.. 0B08807

Thanks everyone!!

 

Thanks for the great Info... Hopefully I'll continue to dodge the bullet and not have mine fail.... But considering I'm at 151k it's great info Incase it happens.. thank you

 

To add to the FYI for the HPFP: Do not forget to purchase the HPFP cam follower when you purchase a pump. It will not work correctly without it.

 

My high pressure fuel pump recently gave up the ghost at 148,555 miles.
I found an excellent how-to video on YouTube on replacing the HPFP. The video was posted September 21, 2020 and the guy added links to parts and mentioned the OEM HPFP was $339.
But apparently in the past year the price has more than doubled to $720. Not sure if it's the pandemic-related price increases of supply, demand, labor shortage, etc., or what.

$339 was a no-brainer. $720 put me at a point where I was willing to take a gamble on an aftermarket part. If it turned out to be a bad decision I'd chalk the loss up to experience and get the OEM.

I searched the web for any info and recommendations I could find on the best aftermarket HPFP. I never found anything except dire warnings that they won't last. One site explicitly declared that an aftermarket part will absolutely not make it past 1,000 miles.

Still, I was determined to take the gamble. With no advice to be found on which one to buy, I went by pure sales numbers shown on eBay. Which one sells the most? I settled on one but bought it through Amazon for $179.

Installation was painful but mostly because I was in very unfamiliar territory. I've never taken a vehicle apart to the extent required for this job. I feel confident if I had to do it again ot would be much smoother.

Anyway. I'm posting this because I replaced the HPFP 7 weeks ago and just turned over 1,000 miles on it a few days ago. It's working great and so far I'm very happy with my decision.

Some links....

The how-to video I followed:

If I have to do it again I would first buy this set of 5mm Allen wrenches (the pump is secured by 5mm bolts):

Photo of the new pump below. It appears to be a remanufactured OEM pump. It looks like there's even some JB Weld securing that part in the lower right.

I too just ordered one of these OSIAS pumps (7615617-01 for me).

Has your pump been reliable?

 

It's been a while but just noticed this

I've got about 11k miles on the Oasis HPFP and still going strong.

Cancel the search.... I just decided to tear it down and pull the old one... It is in fact from production date 4/2012 and newer that take the newer model pump... And let me just say.... It is simple to remove... And costs hundreds less than the older model...(Their is a god) sadly sourcing one local is hopeless... So I Second dayed a Bosch kit from FCP Euro, along with a new Fuel rail pressure sensor just for good measure... Only took me 45 mins to tear down into it and remove.... Now we wait...

For reference my issues were surging acceleration that had me thinking My foot was twitching on the gas peddle for weeks now... And the car has Cut off on me 3 times under slight to moderate acceleration while showing a 2C01 error code, low fuel pressure plausibility.... 2 times within an hour last nite... Hard starts back up and runs like a champ for 20-30 miles and then did it again...

No other visible issues.... So considering I'm at 193500 miles and I've heard horror stories of pump failures as soon as 50-60k I guess I was blessed... I'm seriously considering replacing the starter while I'm in there... Anyone want to second that thought? Or talk me off the ledge?

Thanks for everything.... This forum has always had my back and has made owning and working on 14+ years of BMWs fun, challenging and worth the effort...

BMW life Problems .... You don't know till you know!!!

 

Would this Hpfp work for any n55 e70 X5? I have the old bigger $1000 fuel pump (2011 production, 2012 model year), but apparently this kit comes with an adapter to use the new cheaper style

That's not an adaptor for the older style N55 it adapts it to switch the BMW OEM over to use the Bosch in a post 4/2012 model

 

According to FCPEuro both of these are compatible even though the one on the left is what came with my car… better to get the new version and adapter or replace what’s there with an Amazon special?
