Fuel pump on BMW 535i-2010 has failed twice in 60 days on low mileage car. Safety issue occurs because car immediately loses power with no warning. The first time it happened we were in a shopping center garage so we were going slowly. Second time it happened we were on the 101 heading east at high speed on an incline. Lost power and luckily were able to move over to the shoulder with no incident. We were informed by dealer that this has been a continuing problem with this model. They have replaced it twice. The service manager said they have redesigned the fuel pump and hopefully this time it will work. I googled similar problems and found that there were a number of people reporting the "safety" issue of losing power rapidly.

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.
