2007 BMW 328I Fuel system Problems

“On aug 10, 2012, I was driving my 2007 Bmw 328I on montague expy (county highway g4) during the peak traffic hour (6:30pm). Obviously, at that time, the road was packed with traffic, and suddenly my car engine extinguished and died right there in the middle of the expressway. I had to stay in my car for my nearly 45 minutes, too terrified to walk out of my car and also terrified to stay inside, where I was equally vulnerable. …”

Dealership stated the sensor is a part of the whole tank and the tank must be replaced. …”

We were traveling ~80 miles per hour in the left lane. All of the sudden and without warning, the engine turned completely off on the vehicle. I lost power steering and breaking and had no other option than to glide into the center median. Unfortunately, there was not sufficient room for the vehicle, so the right tires were in the left lane of traffic. We called Bmw assist, but they said they would not pick us up because we had dogs in the car. …”
