PROBLEM WAS STILL PRESENT 3 DAYS LATER. SUBMITTED VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY WHERE A BMW TECHNICIAN WORKS ON WEEKENDS TO RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM THE FACILITY OWNER, THAT BMW TECHNICIAN CANNOT TOUCH MY VEHICLE. SUBMITTED VEHICLE INTO A 3RD REPAIR FACILITY TO FIND THAT BOTH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS HAVE FAILED, "REPLACE BOTH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS, REPLACE FUEL TANK PRESSURE LEAK DIAG PUMP."
