Seems that anyone who's disputing the loss of their Mini will now have irrefutable evidence as to why their Mini burned out. I just saw one on this board a few days ago---

Eh, it's pretty minor if you ask me. The Firestone recall was terrifying. Tires were failing while driving at high speeds causing serious accidents. The Ford Pinto recall was equally terrifying. Cars were bursting into flames killing the passengers. While this is no doubt serious, lets try to keep things in prospective. Recalls are fairly common nowadays, ask Toyota, and that is primarily due to government intervention. Older generation cars didn't have as many recalls due to the lack of enforcement.
Yes, there is a chance, though small, that your car will catch fire. It won't burst into flames and all reports so far show how it's a developing fire and not a combustible one. If you that concerned over your safety you can thwart any serious threat by avoiding parking your car in your garage.

In my case, the car was re-purchased by BMW NA under Lemon Law. It was BMW's offer after 2 months of investigation, no lawyers were involved.

I've got the same question. Just picked up the new 2012 S Cabrio on Monday. I'm guessing they've made a change - but that means they knew about this long ago.

So you should be good, wasn't it from that date in 2009 til the 2011 date? It was so long ago I don't remember. I know my car is a June 2010 build and the pump was replaced. I would be supervised your car has not had it done but it is good to check.
