Other Fuel System Problems of BMW 530

I had stopped uphill, with my foot on the brake, heading east on the left lane of pomona road, at the approach to the traffic light junction with route 45, around 3. 50 pm on Friday 1/23/2026. There were about 5-6 cars also stopped, ahead of me, at the red traffic light and several cars behind me, when I heard my car engine rev up loudly. I kept applying the brake. I could hear my car tires spinning with a smell of burning rubber from the tires as they spun on the road, as my car lurched forward, and hit the rear of the stopped car ~ 5-7 feet ahead of me. I felt that I had no control of my car and turned the engine off after the collision. I called 911 twice at 3. 55 pm and 4. 12 pm and waited as advised, for the police officer who arrived about 30 mins later. I filed the report and the officer was able to retrieve my auto license plate which had fallen off from the road where I could clearly see the tire marks on the asphalt from the spinning tires at the time of the accident. The only message I recall receiving on the display was one that informed me that I had experienced a crash after the collision. I had never experienced this problem before. Later ,after the police officer had arrived and documented the accident, I was able to drive the car home. The burning smell from the tires persisted for some time. The next day I called the BMW dealer in the am, and with great trepidation, drove the car to the BMW dealership. I explained to the service advisor on duty on the Saturday, what exactly had transpired during the accident. I also explained this later to the BMW body shop manager when I spoke with him. I requested a full inspection and investigation by BMW. I personally do not feel safe driving the car again after this most unnerving and frightening episode.

I was driving my car for about 7 min (in 0 degree weather) and it overheated and just shut off on the road. I noticed it was over heating and headed to the repair shop. It stalled again. Even after apparently it was fixed the engine continues to act like it wants to stall. It’s says malfunction, but codes do not show up in the system. They keep telling me it’s fine and they fixed it, it keeps wanting to shut off.

This is the second time I’ve had overheating issues, and it now seems more severe. I’ve noticed both coolant and oil leaking, and the car is unsafe to drive. Also fault codes related to emission. Here are the symptoms I’m experiencing: •smoking: the car I started smoking, likely from oil or coolant leaking onto hot engine parts. Caused me to pull over at midnight on side of highway and get towed •coolant and oil mixing: I’ve observed signs of contamination, which may indicate a gasket failure or internal leak. •safety concerns: due to the risk of overheating or fire, I am not driving the vehicle. •the engine could overheat, leading to catastrophic damage. •leaked oil on hot parts could increase the risk of fire. •the compromised lubrication can cause engine seizure. I suspect the issue may be related to plastic components, as I’ve read they can become brittle over time and lead to leaks also, the these Bmws involves the water pump's electrical pump connector allowing water to drip from the positive crankcase ventilation system through the seal, potentially causing a short circuit.

My vehicle was vandalized and the vandalism targeted the electrical, mechanical and the seat belts in the back. I reported cyber violence and stalking in 2023 to BMW, and my finance company ally and at the beginning of 2024 my car overnight started leaving puddles oil and the entire electrical system would shut down (and it still does) as I'm driving with my seven year old child with autism. The seat belts are severely destroyed and my seven year old is not strong enough to push them down to the point where a safety belt cannot be latched. I contacted gieco and they told me to take it to caliber collision on cottman Ave as the vandalism did impact some body work but not much and the collision center took the vehicle to BMW of the mainline in PA. First - caliber collision did not communicate the information I provided to them to BMW of the mainline. Second- I contacted BMW of the mainline as I did not receive pictures and photos of the work they completed and did not complete thirst - BMW of mainline stated that all the electrical and. Mechanical issues were all attributed to wear and tear and that is blatant deception I have tried to work with geico, caliber and geico to get this resolved but my car is dangerous to drive, and the people that were paid to do the work paid for by geico failed and gave me back a vandalized car that is dangerous for me and my seven. Year old to be in let alone drive on highways or anywhere we go. I reported BMW of the mainline to bbb and I don't know what to do or where to take it because geico closed the claim, refused to pay for additional days of rental and BMW of the mainline refused to provide a loaner leaving me with a child and no car. There is anti-freeze that burning and another dealership said they can smell it, my son cannot be safely and securely belted in the backseat, I'm loosing a great deal of gas all the time and I have no idea how, and the car right after I got it back from BMW of mainline began to shutter.

My gas tank door would not open. Luckily I was not on a long trip. The vehicles key fob locks and unlocks door along with car doors. The dealer used a special tool to open the door and replaced inside parts. My concern is there is no fail safe to open the gas door. The design is flawed as there should be some sort of manual release in the trunk.

I went to hospital several times - the car had defect of manufacture- gas fume released inside the car every time I drove the car I had nausea, drowsiness, vomiting because the car at the beginning was new I never assume the car was causing me illness which had a tremendously impact in to my health. I had to buy new cloth, new mattress and changed the carpet. My health was also impacted - I was diagnosed with granulomas on my lungs. The fume is clear, the cloth will smell gas, and particles of gasoline hazard will attached to the skin giving an allergic sensation. This almost killed and I was not aware that the car was causing this impact on my daily life.

Major fuel leak under engine of car on a cold start (colder temps ~40 degrees fahrenheit or less). Fuel smell immediately on start up, with a steady stream fuel dripping under the car. . . Fuel lines the driveway when backing out. Dripping appears to stop after car warms up, so multiple failed attempts to diagnose issue. However, now can see that all injectors leak and spray fuel from the housing. . . Appears to be where the plastic and metal meets. Car runs fine throughout this time. After searching the internet, it appears that the fuel injectors are known to be faulty and the problem was subsequently corrected at some point. There is enough fuel pouring out to quickly ignite and burn up the car, garage, and home in a short amount of time. Shop quoted well over $2k to replace the injectors, and was uncertain if it would fix the problem. Asked me to tow the car from their lot, for fear it would ignite. Clearly a dangerous accident waiting to happen and it I am shocked to see there is info online and at NHTSA, but no safety recall.

Vehicle wont stop leaking oil.

At temperatures below freezing fuel injectors leak fuel from where the plastic electrical plug and the metal injector body meet. This causes fuel to sit on the intake manifold. A build up of fuel vapor in the engine compartment. And fuel vapors to enter the driver cabin.

Very common problem in 2007 BMW 530 xi is transmission gasket leak and I came to know from web this is happened to many vehicles.

While driving at highway speeds, dashboard lit up and warned that complete electrical failure was imminent. Then vehicle lost all power. Had to attempt emergency exit of the highway without any power assist of brakes or steering. The diagnosis was that rainwater failed to drain thru the sunroof drain and was routed into the trunk of the car where thousands of dollars of electronic vehicle control modules were mounted on the floor under the spare tire! this is an engineering failure that was well known to the manufacturer at the time of the incident. Manufacturer has refused to address any fault on their part. Newer Bmws now have a yellow decal in the trunk warning that no liquids are to be carried in the trunk despite the fact that the trunk even includes a rack designed for transport of groceries!! this is a serious safety hazard for all cars designed in this fashion. .
