First off the Class action would have to prove real injury or an injury was directly linked to this. I wonder how they are going to prove that.
"So Mr. Bimmer driver, what your are saying is you were merging onto the highway and all the cars were doing 120 mph and your car just died and and another car/truck rear ended you"
"Yes Sir Mr. Lawyer, I always obey every traffic law to a T and did absolutely nothing wrong."
Verdict Mr. Bimmer driver.... haahaha
If this does become a serious issue, I can see BMW stepping up and extending the warranty on the HPFP and the trubos like what BMW did for E65 7 series owners for 2000 and 2001 models. It would be cheaper for them to put out a service bulletin stating the extended warranty on these two items. It will be a good will jester and will save them money in the long run.
