1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2016

Hard to start, idles rough and sometimes dies when sitting at stop light. When taking off, it stalled while driving and lost total power for steering and other controls, very dangerous. We were lucky that we were not on the freeway. I know BMW has had problems with the high pressure fuel pumps. My car has 130000 miles and after spending over $4000 at the local BMW for the same issue, now they want an extra $6000 for the hpfp. My car is sitting at their shops, not safe to drive and they refuse to fix it. Is there a recall or anything they can be done? thank you.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2016

As a consumer and also reading about other consumers having issues with the high pressure fuel pumps, the oem part which BMW is charging to fix this problem is over $6,000. The parts are only for the 2006 760i and they seems to be going out on a lot of people. Some consumers were lucky to have it go out during their warranty but some have to deal with this type of expense after wards. If this part seems to go out on a lot of 760i models in BMW there should be a recall out their to fix them. I can understand if there was a few but there are at least 20 just on the forum that I normally go to for answers to my questions. This seems to be an epidemic and BMW needs to take ownership of this, especially since this is only on one model and that the cost of this is overwhelming.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2015

Hard to start, cranks for a while till it builds up pressure then starts. Idles rough and sometimes dies when sitting at stop light, and sputtering power at time when taking off, also when it stalls while driving it is a total loss of power for steering and other controls, very dangerous when it happens. I understand this is a fuel pump problem. Car has 2 fuel pumps. Very very costly repair at the dealer. Dealer should replace at their cost.

4 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2014

Bad fuel pumps. This is a major safety issue because you can be driving at any driving speed and the car will shut off on you with no warning.

5 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2014

Fuel leak and rough idle. Fuel rapidly leaks out of tank when re-fueling car. Dmtl pump and hpfp (high pressure fuel pumps) need to be replaced.

6 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2012

Hard to start, cranks for a while till it builds up pressure then starts. Idles rough and sometimes dies when sitting at stop light, and sputtering power at time when taking off, also when it stalls while driving it is a total loss of power for steering and other controls, very dangerous when it happens. BMW states it is the high pressure fuel pump and the part is $2,700 + 1300 labor. This is the flagship car for BMW. Please recall and replace both pumps before someone gets killed.
