I took my car in today about that and they "recommended" a stater unit replacement along with starter fluid flush, I didn't do it because it wasn't guaranteed to work and it was going to cost $500

I turn my key to the ignition postion and wait till I don't here the fuel pump anymre then I start the car fine.
If I get in and just turn the key to start 50% of the time it with not want to start but when I let the pump lube up It starts fine and quick 98% of the time.

I've heard that just turning the key all almost all the way for like five or so seconds would fix this problem as well, because it primes the fuel pump. Even if, you always do this, will the pump still go bad?
Hello. As you can see, I'm new here. I just bought an 05 SpecV (saphire blue) with the brembo brakes package. It's now got about 550 miles on it. I noticed yesterday it took about 5 or 6 cranks to start it, which was the first time that happened. Kind of freightning after spending almost $20k on a car. Also, the brakes are squeaking a bit. Maybe because they're new??
I don't want to nitpick, and bother the dealer over everything. I realize I didn't buy a BMW, but I want the car to be top notch.
Bother the dealership as much as you can dude, you can't bother them enough, but I'd say the brake might be because it's new but even still, now the start that's something that I'd take in about.

your starting problem is likely a weak fuel pump. when you start the car, turn the key to the ON position (level 3, which will allow all electronics to come on without starting the engine) and wait at least 5 seconds before starting the engine. this allows the pump to prime and eliminates most problems. also, i have found irridium spark plugs and techron fuel cleaner help keep the problem to a min. if you are very worried, you can get nissan to replace the pump due to the TSB on the fuel pump if they can reproduce the problem.
now, as far as the brembo brakes...if your squeeling occurs only at light pressure on lower speeds, it is normal for the OE pads to do this. why it does, i cannot tell you as i have heard the squeel and it is rather loud for OE pads. upgrading to the hawk hps or the carbotech bobcat 1521 ceramic/carbon brakes both increases performance and eliminates the squeel. some owners say that re-bedding the brakes every few months help too and that using the crap out of them will as well.
