1 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 BMW M3

Failure Date: 08/03/2024

- fuel tank started slowly leaking fuel after filling tank up to full, only discovered after driving back home and noticing a strong smell of fuel. Repair records are with BMW of sherman oaks, CA. - leaking fuel caused my garage to fill with strong odor of fuel which is unsafe as well as posing an extremely dangerous fire hazard with the exposed fuel leaking to the ground. \ - BMW dealership inspected, verified no foul play and repaired the faulty part. - a cel was displayed after which I shortly made a service appointment at BMW. It wasn't until filling the tank to full that I noticed the issue. As myself and others suspect, the leak could be due to the material that was used to construct the fuel tank, which is a plastic welding. My car only had ~21,000 before experiencing this issue and the replacement tank is of the same exact kind, so I expect this issue was not remediated by BMW and will probably experience this again.

6 Other Fuel System problem of the 2018 BMW M3

Failure Date: 07/20/2023

Fuel tank started leaking gasoline on the driver's side of the car. I only noticed because of the strong smell of gasoline and slipping a puddle of gas. I feel that my safety was at risk if I was to drive around with gasoline leaking out of the car that could have caused an explosion. I took the car to the dealership and the dealership will not cover the repair even though there is an emission warranty on the older versions of this car that have the same fuel tank issue. There was no warning light.

Failure Date: 01/06/2016

When I accelerate quickly at an intersection when I get a green light, the engine looses all power but keeps running. BMW has no idea as no codes are being saved when this happens. The general manager said it probably computer part but we may never know.

11 Other Fuel System problem of the 2004 BMW M3

Failure Date: 06/03/2013

Vehicle drops out of gear randomly. As I was taking a left turn, the vehicle dropped into 0 gear and on coming traffic almost ran into me head on. I had no way of moving the car due to transmission being shifted into neutral. This is due to a defective temperature sensor on the smg pump. BMW ignores the issue.
