The are supposed to start mailing them mid May, so should be pretty soon. I have an oil change in 4500 miles, I will just do it then.

So my car overheated the other day on the way to work (it yells at you and goes in serious limp mode). I cleared the codes and took off the tune in the work parking lot in 18 minutes and then of course I couldn't get the thing to overheat again. I had to go to Cambridge tonight to my boy's baseball game and it overheated right before the exit. The electric water pumps like to go out, mine bit the dust just under 60k.

After a freaking 2 hour wait for the tow truck, it is on its way to BMW Minnetonka to get a new water pump. Roadside assistance comes with my extended warranty, so out of pocket will be $50 for the whole deal, not bad. Car sure did feel slow without the tune in it!

Ouch, these things have so many issues it seems like, bummer.

Agreed, bummer for sure

Yeah, not making these things look that enjoyable anymore.

Are there better electric water pumps for these?

[Kracka]

That sucks :(

Is the tune untraceable i.e. nothing for the dealership/extended warranty company to void your warranty over?

Agree, the issues are not catastrophic, but plentiful and nagging issues.
- Electric Water Pump failures
- HPFP failures (covered by bmw extended warranty to 120k miles)
- Injector Failures
- Spark Plug and Coil Failures
- Direct Injection carbon issues

German over-engineering at it's finest.

They changed the design of the Injector for the N55, hopefully they are better than the N54. But yeah... like most "performance cars" they are not a Camry! :)
