What owners wrote
In tank fuel pump that causes the check engine light to come on and a obvious burnt rubber smell to permeate inside the vehicle cabin after fueling and driving the car home and parking it in the garage.
Check engine light comes on whenever the gas cap is opened when re-fueling and a noticeable burnt smell is noticed inside the vehicle. I have to have it towed to the nearest repair shop servicing BMW near me. Please see photos attached. I incurred about $2230 in repair charges. From then on, the problem hasn't re-occured.
