Fixed?
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

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.

Also line a post facelift e36 m3 and an e46 330ci next to eachother and guess which one wins and by how much=P
Hint: it is the e46=)
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.

Mass has no bearing on velocity, only acceleration.
