When I hear the same HPFP being replaced in 2011 models that were the cause of the problems in prior years, it drives me nuts. Why? If the design is bad, BMW should have changed it long before now. These are not Yugo engineers building new TATA's for God's sake! It's more than ethically wrong to put the same problematic part in cars that you know was a causative factor in earklier model issues.
I know it's not a Ford and that it is so much more technically advanced. Yes, I know it's a luxury car, but neither my 328i nor my work Police Interceptor ever left me sitting wondering if Iit would start again either. No I don't want to go back to either, just want what I paid for to run right and be fixed right the first time. Period!
Having "BMW is working on it" at the bottom of your work order just doesn't cut it with me.

Sorry to hear one of your GT's is giving you issues. How many miles are on the GT with issues? They should know that you had/have enough faith to purchase (2) GT's . How many times have you have to present with the same issue?
Trust me when I tell you I have been there, and I am always reluctant to take the car in for service for fear of some other issue arising as a result of an "all day" reprogram. I am now at 21K, knocking on wood - drivetrrain has been solid - ancilary issues such as amp issues, camera lens fogging, and other "somewhat minor" issues are the only things I have been faced with this time around. I totally understand the frustration with having to make multiple visits to the dealer for the same issues. I make sure to log each an every visit. I learned the value of a paper trail when it comes to "in warranty" vehicles - especially those under 24K miles
I hope they provide you with a timely and permanent resolution to your issues.
I have to say that BMW has always stood behind me with resolving any issues - the GT is no exception.
