It would probably never happen. This only seems to apply to N55s produced before Jan 2011, so the numbers probably wouldn't be high enough to make a blip on their radar. I was unlucky enough to get one made in October.
Even worse yet is that in 2012, the N55 went to a completely new fuel pump design. So I am willing to bet that the "HPEP" pump is the newest revision we will ever see. They obviously have up.
But then again, maybe they will issue a recall for the VANOS considering it is such a small number of cars (and this IS a safety concern after all).
But I would rather not wait to see lol.
It's a shame. I love everything about this car. If it weren't for this VANOS problem and the HPFP, it would be considered an extremely reliable platform if you ask me.
