The out of pocket cost will be around $700 at the stealership. Supposedly, they have resolved the HPFP issue after you replace them.
BTW, I just checked. It is covered 12 years/120,000 miles. There is also a recall for 07-10 to get it replaced with the newest HPFPs so get them to do that while it's in the shop!
Eww...just the thought of the HPFP going out under boost on a modded 335i...
never mind, wrong thread.Staggered setup looks nicer, but performance is better on this vehicle with same sized front/rear.

BMW do it as a fairly crude way to bias understeer rather than oversteer, so you should gain front end grip for better turn in.Any particular reason going wider on the rear end compared to the front would be a decrease in performance?

On both my cars the standard difference is 30mm from the factory.+1
It leads to more neutral handling, and much better initial bite on turn in. It also helps substantially on braking.
Edit: so if you do increase sizes and go staggered, try not to go too big of a difference between front & rear width.

1 series: 215/245 <--- pricey when running RFT, in fact cost as much for four as the M3 Continentals do...
M3: 225/255
On the subject of tyres, I just went to non-RFT on the 1 and the ride is much better.
a little toe out in the front will make turn in happen a little faster

understeer = the enemy
not sure why you would want to make it even worse with wider back tires. The fun of a RWD car is being able to kick the tail out.

Wow if that isn't a red flag I don't know what is. Hopefully you won't find anymore "weak links" before the months over.
I'd hate to see an inferior German car if these are "teh bestest look at my badge car".
thats what the power is for.......
shit happens.
my wifes car had the AC compressor take a shit after about 10k miles. we havent had single other problem and its almost at 40K now
The fun of a 375whp+ DD is being able to floor it and make people shit their pants. It's intoxicating how easy it is to make power in this car for sure. This combined with all the available suspension options and such makes it hard not to want to go crazy. At the end of the day though, this is supposed to be the DD. The Corvette will be for kicking the tail out. I have to be patient
