Two problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2013 BMW 650. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I've had several problems with this car, which have been quite disappointing. Drivetrain malfunction light popped up just around 52k miles, it had a rough idle, multiple cylinder misfires and would go limp often. Went to the dealership in kalamazoo, michigan, where they told me after diagnostics they were not sure what the problem was but it could have been the coils/spark plugs. Changed out both of those and it ran good for a couple months. 58k miles, 65kmiles , 70k miles and now 85-90k miles all have had this drivetrain problem. The car is now at 92k miles and is rough idling and misfiring often again. Other things to note, the fuel pump was bad (covered by extended warranty), auxiliary radiator was leaking and had to be replaced, and I have changed all coils and spark plugs twice in the last 2 years of ownership. All drivetrain problems happen while in motion (misfires) and rough idles when stationary.
Prior to 4/3/2018 on approximately 4 different occasions, the vehicle started and idled rough. Engine was turned off and re-started and ran smooth. On 4/3/2018 the vehicle stalled while driving and in traffic and would not restart. All engine power was lost (no power steering, no forward motion) but all electrical functions were ok. Towed car to BMW dealer where they found (2) high pressure and (1) low pressure fuel pump failures which were replaced under extended warranty. No other issues were discovered through the inspection and repairs. On 5/22/2018 (pm) upon starting the vehicle it ran rough. We tried to stop and restart but it did not correct the problem. On 5/23/18 (am) the vehicle started properly and was taken into to the dealer to diagnose the problem. On each occasion noted above the display screen prompts with the drivetrain malfunction message, but checking the on-board vehicle status all systems are "ok". Reduced power and/or complete loss of power in a critical situation could prove to be disastrous. Considering the number of complaints and potential risk the factory should elevate this complaint to a recall status before someone is seriously hurt (if that hasn't already happened).
