    Never heard the pump whining, but I had a weird intermittent thing where the engine would loose power for a couple seconds, and the continue running normally. Has been happening maybe once a month or so since I bought the car. During the summer I had some hard starts that seemed to be caused by overly rich mixture(?). Also had a CEL the entire time, which went away after replacing the O2 sensor near the end of summer. A week before the pump failed I had a few random hard starts where it took maybe 30 seconds of cranking before the engine finally started normally and ran perfectly normally like nothing was wrong...  I probably have some other issue (maybe coolant sensor?) besides just the fuel pump, but such is the high-mileage life...

    I also had that happen a couple of times

          facts of potential interest:

          m54b30    HP: 228 hp @ 5900    TQ: 221 lb·ft @ 3500
          S52B32    HP: 240 hp @ 6000    TQ: 240 lb·ft @ 3800

          s52 makes 5.3% more horsepowers and 8.6% more torques

          cost 100-200% or more dollars? 😕

            If all you're doing is looking at those figures then you're missing the point of the s52.  That'd be the same as comparing an s54 and n54 and declaring the n54 a better engine.

                Now place those 2 cars on a race track and tell me who wins.  Or drive them side by side and tell me which is better.  This has been played out over and over and it's always the same conclusion, M cars trump non-m cars.

                    I was watching them race side by side. The 330ci's were walking all over the e36 m3's and it had me quite surprised

                                        winter lighting is the best! and great contrast with the black car.

                                          I had a scan tool manufacturer tell me that Taiwanese made SD cards do no work in their scan tools, only Chinese made SD cards.   We tested this theory and sure as shit, the Taiwanese SD cards wouldn't work.  Has anyone heard of this?
