Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of BMW 535

The car suddenly displayed a warning saying the fuel pump malfunction and gave a notice that engine may shutdown immediately and to pull to a side. We complied - though it may have been pretty dangerous if we were on highways or in traffic. Tried to start again, the same issue. Got it toed to the BMW dealership. The dealer diagnosed the issue to be the high pressure injection pump and told us it is not covered. We called BMW and they told it is now covered as it has an extended warranty. We tell the dealer and the dealer tells us it is covered but another part edk pf is now not covered as it did show fault codes that were earlier than the fuel pump fault codes. My issue is if the fuel pump and edk work hand-in-hand, won't the two to be covered by BMW? why it should matter, which did show fault codes first? infact this is pretty dangerous situation and I wish BMW recalls and checks all vehicles and fix all the parts that are affected.

I purchased a pre-owned 2010 BMW 535i on 12/31/2013. The next day (new year's day), and without any warning or indication, the vehicle spontaneously shut down, coming to a rolling stop. As soon as the engine shut down, the dashboard showed a "fuel pump" warning, which also noted that "continued driving is possible. " however, several attempts to re-start were not successful, and the vehicle had to be pushed to a safe location. Prior to the engine failure, I was driving at about 35 mph on a 2-lane divide roadway, where construction barricades replaced the shoulder. The incident occurred just around midnight, and there was very little traffic, so we were spared certain catastrophe. The vehicle was towed to my home, and although the engine light stayed on, we were able to drive it back to the dealership from there. For the next 30+ days, various fuel injection system components were serviced and/or replaced including the following: high-pressure fuel pump replaced; low-pressure fuel pump replaced; fuel injectors flushed, ignition coils and spark plugs replaced. After each of those "fixes", the vehicle was returned to us, and shut down again on the road and in traffic within 2 days. Finally, the injection pump control module was replaced, and the vehicle underwent a complete software system update. We picked up the vehicle for the 4th time on 2/3/2014, and it appears that the problem has been corrected and our safety restored. . . .
