kirks5oh Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 i've considered one of these cars with 4wd, and 4 doors. have they got the fuel pump issue resolved? i'd have to mod the car to over 400rwhp to be remotely happy with it though. to answer a previous question, the pricks are on the outside of the porcupine.

CRed05 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 have they got the fuel pump issue resolved? They also had turbo problems did they not? Wonder if they fixed that issue yet too. Wonder how long before the turbo lady visits this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 JB4 $479 Downpipes $730 Intake $400 Chargepipe $275 How necessary is the intake and chargepipe on these? I would imagine that the intake on these cars are perfectly fine from the factory for that kind of power. Even on my old ass Audi I still have an OEM airbox.

smokinHawk1647545499 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 there is no point in getting an chargepipe unless your adding meth or want a bov instead of the stock diverters. you can get an intake for $100. those do help some. there was a supposed wastegate rattle, that annoyed some people, i have not heard it on mine. but there are simple fixes for them. after all the recalls have been done the fuel pumps seem to be ok, and they still have a 10 year 120k mile warranty. the more i drive my Xi the more i love it.

Scotty2Hotty Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've been eyeballing the Xi for the woman's DD. I'm trying to avoid her buying a damn IS250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we've been doing the recalls with the updated pumps, I cant think of any cars we've had with fuel pump related failures. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying they've been significantly reduced. imo. turbo failures are very far and few between. I can think of two we've replaced since the car has been introduced. and that was waste gate related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 So, you pretty much hate her then?:no: There's more IS250's than fake tits in Dallas, which says something. We found a Titanium Silver Metallic 335i under $30K with 20K or so on the clock. After my new truck/SUV purchase, the GTP will probably get traded in for one.

Anything but a 250, the thing can barely get out of it's own way. Rather keep the GTP.. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spkcadet Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 They also had turbo problems did they not? Wonder if they fixed that issue yet too. Wonder how long before the turbo lady visits this guy. No turbo problems, just the HPFP. There is a certain run of HPFPs that they replaced that had that issue. On top of that they did a software flash to resolve the issue with it going dry when its powered off. Something to do with rings on the inside drying out I believe, cant remember off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 whats the differance between the i and the xi? Someone said "traction" I will say, understeer. The XI is AWD, adds weight to the front and gives it more understeer. The XI is also not available with the sport package so it will be a little "softer" that an I with the sport package.

Mr. Jones Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah, they haven't figured out how to do AWD & Sporty yet. A shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
