1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2015

While driving on the hov lane of the freeway during rush hour about 5:15 pm my car suddenly started to rattle when pushing the gas paddle. I took my foot from the gas paddle while still driving with about 60 mph. I tried the gas paddle some seconds later again and experienced still rattling and no acceleration of the car. I took my foot again from the gas paddle. In the meantime I was down to 40mph. About 20-30 sec later from the first rattle the engine light came on and 1 sec later the engine stalled on the highway. At that time when the engine stalled I was still driving about 35 mph. Luckily the freeway had a left shoulder and I turned over to the left with the last remaining speed and slowly stopped the car. I'm so glad that the left shoulder was available. The freeway was very busy and I assume I would have been involved in an accident, if the left shoulder wouldn't have been available. The loss of power was too sudden and entirely unexpected. The stalled engine created a very dangerous moment while driving on a freeway. The BMW shop came back to me today and explained that the high pressure fuel pump failed. A know issue with the car make, model and year.
