Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving along at approximately 35mph, my 2011 328i shut off. Due to my given relatively low speed and location (back road) I was able to pull the car safely to the shoulder. Once stopped, I attempted to start the engine. The car would start. Subsequently, the car was towed to the nearest Bmw service facility. The Bmw repair technician advised an internal fuel link cracked, thus the car had effectively run out of gas. The entire fuel tank and pump had to be replaced. A simple google search for 2011 Bmw 328i swollen fuel pump reveals others have had this issue as well. …”
