I think there are more than a few cases of the HPFP issue, but I also think BMW is standing behind their product. A lawsuit would only be warranted if BMW abandoned their warranty obligations.

The turbo issue isn't as clear to me. I don't think the wastegate rattle was a big issue (it was annoying to some owners). However, the fix bothered some owners because they felt that throttle response had been changed. I understood that they were able to go back to a previous software version in some cases. Owners were more upset about BMW changing the software than either the problem or the fix, on many boards. I have been happy with throttle response, and frankly I have no idea what software version my car is on.
