Hello All
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread . This is the current situation....
My N54 335i with 127k on the clock and FSH has an HPFP that has failed ( diagnosed by BMW ). Quote from the dealer is R20683.00 vat incl for the pump only. I have tried to source a non oem part and the only suppliers out there that seems to be able to obtain one is GW and Midas, a MotoEuro brand R8k vat incl.
Has anybody used this brand of HPFP before and whats the longevity like?
I have located an independent tech who has a workshop at his home that apparently recons these pumps for BMW and Mini dealerships (so he says) all over the country. Total cost of recon is R4500 with a 12 month warranty with a 5 day turnaround time.
Should I take the plunge on a recon unit or fork out the R20k for an oem unit ( with a terrible feeling of being ripped off )
Appreciate your views on this .......
Hey man,
I recently replaced the HPFP on my 08/2011 build N55, and since it is an early N55, it still has the rotary style unit like N54. R21k is unfortunately the going rate from BMW over the counter. PM me for the price I got quoted by ABM (Deago) - it's a
bit more palatable.
The pumps offered by the likes of GW, like the Bosch, are the plunger-style units at a far more reasonable cost but they aren't plug & play (if even economically feasible).
I still have the old rotary HPFP, which, in retrospect, was probably mostly fine - if you're keen to attempt a recon on another unit other than yours.
