2011 BMW 328I Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Water pump and Thermostat failure at 60,000 miles even after a replacement.car continues to overheat

i was driving to work and the car stalled in the middle of traffic when i slowed the vehicle down, the idle is rough and all over the place, car is very hesitant to accelerate and vibrates or shakes when approaching any speed. then the check engine light popped on and is still on, i’ve parked the car since the incident to do some research on what the cause could be.

Last Saturday, I was driving to New Jersey. I drove from Brooklyn through the Holland Tunnel with no issues. However, after driving about 4 or 5 miles on the New Jersey Turnpike the fuel pump malfunction light came on and the car started to slow down then jerk. Thankfully, I was able to pull off to the side since vehicles travel at a very high speed on the New Jersey Turnpike. After I pulled off to the side the engine stopped and would not restart. I was able to get a tow to the nearest BMW — BMW of Bloomfield. They took my keys and ran my VIN. The service manager from that location advised me that they could fix the fuel pump for me at no cost because it is a known issue and is covered under code SULEV. However, I would have to leave my car there for...

My Vehicle has been on Recall since March 2, 2022. There are increasing problems and an occasional smoke and burning smell. This is effecting me getting an inspection and registering my vehicle.

Upon starting my vehicle there is a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin. The car was making a noise that has been diagnosed by a mechanic as engine failure and this vehicle is only 10 years old. This car is my only means of transportation. I need someone to help figure out what to do with it. These cars are too costly to consumers to be just be dead in a year span. There is no possible way the manufacture is unaware of these issues. My car has had a burning smell that could never be located by the dealer. Though it all there are still zero safety lights to point me in any direction.. how can it be possible that something seeming so unstable have no warning lights to give indication that something is wrong with it . I’m just tired of all these entities being able to...

MY ISSUE IS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 14V-176, ALSO LISTED AS SI B11 07 14. IT IS A FAULTY VANOS UNIT WITH FAILING BOLTS. MY CAR'S MODEL AND YEAR ARE LISTED IN BOTH OF THESE DOCUMENTS, HOWEVER MY SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY DAMAGED DUE TO THE VANOS BOLTS SHEARING OFF COMPLETELY AND FALLING INTO THE OIL PAN, AS DESCRIBED EXACTLY IN THE ABOVE RECALL NOTICES. THIS IS THE DIAGNOSIS FROM BMW OF SEATTLE. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT MY CAR SUFFERS THE SAME FAULTY PART AS LISTED AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS IN ERROR THAT IT IS NOT. AS IT STANDS, BMW CANNOT HELP ME AND ARE FORCING ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TELLS ME THAT MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND...

MY BMW DOES NOT IDLE SMOOTH , IT HESITATES LIKE IT IS CHOKING ON GAS, ITS IDLE GAUGE GOES FROM 0 TO 15 CONSTANTLY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I HAD IT TUNES=D UP AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. IT HAS LITTLE POWER ON AND OFF. YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE HARD TO GET IT TO GO UP HILLS AND IT IS NOT A SMOOTH SHIFT WHEN YOUR RIDING IT HARD TO GET THE IDLE UP TO PAR TO GO FASTER.

MY 2011 BMW 328I (I AM ORIGINAL OWNER) HAS ~53000 MILES BUT IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS SUCH AS ENGINE MISFIRING, ROUGH IDLE, LOSS IN POWER AND ACCELERATION. CAR ALMOST STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES INDICATE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG ISSUES BUT THIS IS NOT USUAL FOR A CAR WITH ONLY ABOUT 53000 MILES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THERE'S ANY KNOWN ISSUES WITH THESE COMPONENTS.

DRIVING AT 50 MPH CAR SLOW DOWN AND STALL ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.
