Consumer Description

1. The fuel pump and electronic relay have malfunctioned 3x while driving. Causing me to replace the low pressure fuel pump . First Fuel Pump was at 30 K miles on 10/8/2021 2. This is the Second Fuel pump! 10/13/2022 The car broke down on the Highway Near Columbus GA . The car stopped at a traffic light and limped into a parking lot. I waited 4 hrs for a flatbed, got a hotel for the night and a rental in the AM. The car stopped running 2x on the highway both times in Rural Georgia, miles away from a BMW dealership. I was able to limp the car off the highway. Once it died in downtown Atlanta. All three times the vehicle needed to be flatbedded to a BMW dealer. Twice I needed hotels and rental cars the next day to finish work. And both times needed to go back to rural GA to pickup the cars. 3. The issue wasn't reproduced by the dealer, however it reproduced on its own 3 times. 4. THe last repair, number three, the vehicle was kept by BMWGlobal Atlanta for approximately 30 days. The pump system was dead, but they couldn't reproduce the issue with the new pump. They blamed it on the fuel I was using, which was always Premium! 5. There were zero warning lamps in the car before the shutdowns. all three times the car the pumps died the car began stuttering right before it shut down.
