general problems of the 2008 BMW 528

For a while now, I had been smelling gas around the car. I had it smogged and it passed but the technician told me that it smelled as if it were running rich because he smelled gas. It did not make sense to me that it could be running rich because it would not have passed smog then. I went to the supermarket recently and as I came out, I saw a small puddle of liquid under the left rear seating area. I touched it and smelled it and it was gas. My car leaves a little puddle of gas wherever I park now. I just saw a video on youtube called "my BMW 535i has a fuel leak. " that has been the problem a lot of people are having with their biodegradable BMW plastics. In the video, the young man describes that the fuel filter starts leaking and he has to spend $190. 00 in parts. I don't have that money to be throwing away right now. Please look into and help us out.

Fuel sending unit cracked leaking fuel and smell. Replaced at BMW dealership.

On 01/26/2018 I went to east bay BMW because of the pcv valve heater recall campaign b 11 16 17 I was given a long term rental from enterprise car rental but had to store my vehicle at my home while waiting for the parts for the recall repair. After 4 months I was notified to return for the repair on 04/30/2018 east bay returned the car. With-in 2 day's I was having the O2 sensor replaced from a certified BMW mechanic and after examination he informed me the recall campaign was not preformed according bulletin. Original parts from the alternator were still on my car and had never been removed. Removing the alternator and replacing the bolts, checking/replacing parts for damage was never performed. I returned to east bay the following Saturday to confront the manager working his name is william, he admitted to have a mechanic who could reach to replace the valve heater without removal of the other parts specified in the campaign. The intake is an alternate route for the repair but would compromise my engine. I placed a call to BMW USA and told them what happened and parts/paperwork returned by east bay for the recall were still on my car and a emission proof of correction was never received. I would return to east bay and speak with the store service manager jim burke. I informed him what happened and request to have the recall re-done at a dealer of my choice, have a smog test, receive proof of correction at his cost. I also had him warrant my engine for 2 additional yrs for compromising my engine as he could not demonstrate the way they did the recall when I requested. My car went to BMW of sf for recall to be done according to the bulletin, I have attached invoices, proof of correction, smog test, engine warranty and method of payment from east bay. If they admitted to cheating the recall repair to me you can believe they did this to a lot of other people.

Car power suddenly stops without warning. Usually happens when I'm either driving or when I am idle; when driving it just stops, and when I am in idle, it vibrates vigorously and then stops.

When the car is running gasoline smell enters the car cabin. No visual leaks at engine but if air vent is not drawing fresh air no smell is evident. When turning the car off and exiting the vechile the fuel odor is present for short while.

There is a very strong fuel odor coming from the rear driver side of vehicle at all times that I notice upon opening the driver door.

Gas leakage had to be replaced.

Car gas haven't been as usual took car for oil chang rotation of tires. Discovered gas leakage. Looking at possible fuel line or pump.

My car had an fuel leak which had to be repaired ASAP.

Hello I'm reporting in regards to an issue with my vehicle. For approximately the past month I have an issue with a gasoline smell coming from my vehicle. I first thought I was over filling so changed the amount of gas I put in the vehicle. That still didn't stop the smell from coming back. So I decided to schedule my vehicle for an appointment. As a result the service advisor stated they smelled it but was not able to find a leak. I drove home without a strong smell but by the time I arrived to the destination it was evident again. I contacted a few other BMW authorized dealers and talked with service advisors and they said they never heard of such issue/concern. At one dealership the advisor hung up on me while I was explaining it. I read a few articles where other BMW owners experienced the same issue, some who cars caught on fire. This made me believe there is a defect that causes this issue. So I contacted BMW of north America and was told by joey there is nothing they could do. I explained to him that I can't keep paying diagnostic fees for them to determine nothing is wrong. I had it escalated and was told by kayla that I need to take it to a dealership. Never was I offered to have it checked for free. I understand I'm out of warranty but to be responsible for paying for diagnostic procedures without being told an issue exists is robbery. I just want my car concern resolved before anyone is injured or harmed as a result of the issue.
