What owners wrote
Three fuel pump failures, BMW factory rep looked at car at BMW cleveland, in solon, ohio. One week later car caught on fire while sitting in parking lot at work.
Long crank, stuttering, engine dying at idle (or in traffic), check engine light/limp mode. BMW dealers don't know exactly how to fix it once and for all. They just keep replacing the high pressure fuel pump.
