Boring topic! I see a lot of posts of this on here and it is a bit difficult to sort. I see Pelican parts has a how-to and there are a few youtube videos showing how to replace the HPFP. However, these are for R56 models. Is it pretty much the same for an R55?
Thanks!

 

 

get the newest rev part # you can find

 

Get the Peugeot part for half the price!
Part number 1920.LL for the N14 Minis.

 

Just be sure to replace the 3 torx bolts, I think they need to be torqued at 11nm. Very easy job to do.

 

Thanks everyone!

Has anyone seen terrible differences with the standard OEM vs the "OEM" from china. It's like a 400$ price difference on eBay.

 

 

The stupid thing is that the HPFP was around $285 a couple of years ago. Now BMW raised the price to over $1,000. They must be trying to recoup some of their losses on how many they had to replace under the extended warranty on the pumps.

 

The Bentley Manual recommends to replace the high presure fuel line between HPFP and fuel rail.

BMW indeed raises its parts prices every year. Hence my tip for the PSA part: same part, different box and half the price ;-)

 

Replace in tank fuel filter when doing this. I feel this filter being clogged is a big contributor for these pump failures. I have replaced my HPFP 3 times in a 1yr span and on my last replacement I did the fuel filter in the tank. It looked like a used oil filter. Good luck.
