BMW initially put a 10 year warranty on the fuel pump, but now they are going to replace it even if it does not break.

I am the original owner of 2011 535i and never received a letter. Did call a dealership today and they confirmed that the recall is active for my car, however the profusely apologized and said that the prat cannot be ordered at this time. Apparently I have to wait until I get another letter before I can call.

Filter holds the pump in place. Filter has clips that attach to the pump tank assembly. Pump can be swapped without changing the filter. But I am pretty sure they change the entire assembly, because it is not effcient and safe to do just the swap of the pump from a manufacturer standpoint. I say this because did stage 2 lpfp diy upgrade.
