Hard to Start E90 BMW? Cranking for long? Potential Fix (Fuel Pump Control Module Replacement)

In this video I show you how to upgrade from a second generation EKPM2 fuel pump control module to an EKPM3 third generation module. This is a potential cause for extra long cranks during startup.

I do this on my 2008 BMW 335i but this would apply to any E90 and also other BMW models. You'll find your LPFP or low pressure fuel pump does not prime as expected when unlocking your car or opening your door.

The EKPM3 modules shipped from the factory on LCI (2009+) cars and a number of issues are addressed in this revision. I get inside and compare the two in this video.

I also show you how to remove your non folding rear seats.
