2006 BMW 325I Fuel system Problems

“My car is leaking gas and I am afraid to drive it. I had to take it out of the garage because of the gasoline smell. My seatbelt light is on and my mechanic said that I need new seatbelts.”

“The problems I am having with my car include: high rpms when accelerating, massive gas consumption which I can provide bank statements to prove, massive coolant consumption, numerous oil leaks, rough idling, engine rattling, foul smell of vapors in the car while running, and constant car shaking. My car will cut off completely if the A/C is turned on or if sitting at a red light, so in return I would have to put my car in park while sitting at red lights. All of this is due to the pcv valve. …”

“While parked in my driveway I noticed fuel smell outside the drivers side of my 2006 Bmw 325I also the car was hard to start meaning the starter was cranking excessively to start the car. I brought the car to the Bmw dealer and they found the drivers side sending unit leaking fuel under the back seat of the car. They replaced the sending unit (part no. 16-11-7-163-295) and my car is good now but it seems like this has the potential to be very dangerous and the repair cost me $529.00”

“Bmw 325I has an acceleration delay problem. When the driver demands a sudden increase in acceleration, the car hesitates anywhere from 1.5 to 3 seconds. This is a dangerous condition when someone is making a left turn in traffic, or getting onto a highway, or passing on a 2 lane country road, etc. Other cars traveling at 60 MPH are moving at 88 ft/sec. The amount of leeway this car needs is much too excessive. The car has been back to the dealer twice with the same diagnosis - problem not verified . Friends who have driven my car think it is a dangerous condition. …”

“Bmw 325I has an acceleration delay problem. When the driver demands a sudden increase in acceleration, the car hesitates anywhere from 1.5 to 3 seconds. I too have experienced this problem on my recently purchased 325I. Initially thought it was the transmission, however the transmission seems to work fine in manual and sport mode. I only experience this defect during automatic mode. As stated this is a dangerous condition when someone is making a left turn in traffic, or getting onto a highway, or passing on a 2 lane country road, etc. Problem is recurrent.”
