This is SO dramatized. I love how the use the word "tout" obviously trying to associate a negative connotation. This is a very typical lawsuit where somebody is looking to make quick $ from BMW. Yes, we know the problem does exist; however, I feel that it is much less common than they make it seem. Consider this, there are thousands of 1, 3, and 5 series with the associated "turbo" engine, yet we only hear of few cases. I think that if it was as big of a deal that this law firm is making it out to be, then the media would have caught wind of this a long time ago...
but then again, i'm bias, I love BMW

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.

Around the same time they were updating software, and I think it was the software change that some owners objected to, as they perceived different throttle response afterwards.

For a while when the wastegate rattle was first happening at my dealer we were just adjusting out that little bit of slack thus making it quiet without doing anything else. But when BMW released the software fix they stopped paying the adjustment claims as it wasn't the official fix...
