The early 3 series have been known to have a noisy fuel pump. As long as the car is operating fine it should not fail you. The pumps available today at the dealer have an updated design. Make sure you are using a reputable gas station. Gas with greater that 10% alcohol can make these pumps seize up.

How do I test the fuel pump on my car? I am not sure if the pump is bad, or if there is an electrical issue upstream from the pump. How can I tell? (2001 BMW 325ci)

put your ear to the gas tank then have someone turn the key on (not start) if you hear buzzing coming from it it's good if not it's bad.
