My BMW 535xi sport wagon had a high pressure fuel pump replaced after 12500 mi. The engine lost most of its power and I needed to quickly exit hwy. In order not to pose a threat to others. Prior to this problem I noticed the engine took longer to start, and one time the engine seemed to sputter and temporarily become un drivable. The first time this happened, the dealer said they had to fix a problem in the cars computer. The second time , the dealer said the pump had to be replaced.

Purchased 2009 BMW 335ci in March of 2009. In Sep the car stalled, BMW replaced the fuel pump or hpfp (high pressure fuel pump). Today we started the car and moved it in our driveway. 1. 5 hours later we started the car again to go to work and it stalled. We tried twice to restart it wouldn't. At that time we noticed a fuel smell and stepped out of the vehicle into a puddle of gasoline.

My family and I was driving to san francisco and ready to cross the bay bridge. I was in my 2010 BMW 535i (the car was three months old with about 5500 miles on it. With no warning, the engine malfunction light goes on and I get a message to slow the car down. In about 2 minutes, the engine dies and the car is stalled. I was in the middle of heavy traffic, very dangerous, no where to exit. I tried to start the engine and everytime I tried to drive, the engine dies. We were blocking traffic for about 30 minutes before the chp arrived to move the car out of the traffic lanes. I was told the problem was the high pressure fuel pump system (hpfp) - BMW knows about this problem and they still have not fixed this issue. It is very dangerous -- there is no telling when this fuel pump will fail again.
