Do you need 4 doors? If not a Mustang 5.0 would be a good look in my opinion.
Thought about it. Don't really want a Mustang now. My cousin has a Boss 302. Cool but I'd rather have a Camaro and the 1LE's are too expensive right now.

They said they couldn't replicate the problem. I'm going car shopping this weekend. :pachaha:
Had to catch it on video for proof. I'm pretty sure it needs new injectors on bank 2 after datalogging a short drive.

I'm at 68K and have owned the car since 44K. If I didn't have CPO, I'd be out around $4K I think. That's unacceptable. Here's what I've had done at the dealer so far.

HPFP
Valve cover gasket
Control arm bushings
Fuel pressure sensor
Electric water pump
Thermostat
Oil filter gasket
Intake manifold cleaning

That's not counting changing the spark plugs and regular maintenance/gas.
Add all 6 fuel injectors to the list. :snoop:

Is that what was causing your long cranks?
Combination of the HPFP failing and the injectors leaking. Couldn't do both at one time bc they didn't throw codes at the same time.

Out of warranty replacing the injectors are about $2000 worth of work. Apparently BMW revised them in the past couple of years so all have to be replaced if they fit in a certain date range.

What's crazy is that this car isn't a lemon. This all normal for this car. :heh:

:laff:

I'm never buying another BMW again after this. Dealer called saying that the valve cover gasket was bad, for the 2nd time, and that my spark plugs were basically covered in oil from the bad gasket and fouled because of the injectors. Spark plugs aren't under warranty but they gotta get replaced.
