I have a BMW 335i bought on March 28, 2008 and it has stalled on me and died over 4 times. The car now has 1000 miles. The first time it went on limp mode was at 500 miles and the first time it stalled and towed to the dealer was at 750 miles. The dealer has told me the problem is faulty gas, which was my problem, and that I would have to pay for the repairs of a new gas pump, new injectors and to clean out my brand new gas tank, several thousand dollars in repairs. I just got my car towed to the dealer again this afternoon, June 23, 2008, and will be in the service for the same thing, a faulty gas pump, for the second time.
Note this is for a 2008 BMW 335xi not a BMW 550i I have a 2008 BMW 335xi which has had two fuel pump failures within a week. First was on June 9th where my high pressure fuel pump failure was detected in the vehicle and the fuel pump was replaced. A week later, and less than 100 miles, the fuel pump died again with an error message of engine malfunction; reduced power. . . And the car kept running rough. . . For more information on this issue, please refer to NHTSA action number : pe08032 . This is a different claim made than the one in that action number, however, it is a defect that needs to be addressed.
