2007 BMW 328XI Fuel system Problems

“I have a 1999 Bmw 328i that I purchased in 2005 for $25,000 I just purchased a 2007 Bmw 328XI on may with 54k miles on 11/1/10 it turned out that I bought a $35,000 death trap with the doors not opening or the gas tank to take it to the dealership so now it just sits there in my driveway. My 1999 with still does that same problem but off and on not like this 2007 death trap. I'm never ever buying a Bmw again.”

“I have a complaint/situation with my 2007 Bmw 328ix sedan. Bmw refuses to repair at their cost a significant life safety fuel problem. On august 1, 2014 while driving along a paved street in pullman washington, the cars engine abruptly shut down without warning. I was barely able to get the vehicle off the road. I had the vehicle towed to camp Bmw in spokane washington for examination and repair. The following monday, I received a call from the service department and was told the fuel pump went out and the repair would cost about $700 and would be repaired that day. …”

“Sound of metal being dragged along the ground. Friends wired the metal piece to car's underbody and I drove over 300 miles on the highways not realizing it was the strap for the gas tank. Took it to Bmw and they were unable to get it on a lift to diagnose the problem, due to time constraints. Took it to local mechanic and he put it on the lift and took off the 'broken' strap. Now waiting for two days for the piece to come from Bmw. Went online and saw there were other postings on a Bmw 'blog site' referring to this problem, and causing me some alarm that the gas tank could split!!! …”

“The engine stalled while driving on freeway and would not start after that. Dealer replaced fuel pump but it happened again after a week. This time dealer replaced the fuel sensor. First time the car stalled on local street but 2nd time on the freeway. Had to tow to dealer both the times. Losing engine power at highway speed is dangerous and could cause fatal accident. After a week the engine suddenly lost most of the power at highway speed and now drives at max 50mph or so. Dealer is still trying to troubleshoot the car, root cause unknown. …”

“While driving on the hiway, the engine will shake, car will rev, check engine light comes on, then engine dies. Car loses power and if I'm lucky then I can pull over to the side. After some researching, some series have had a recall on fuel pump failure. Please review if the 328XI can be included in the recall.”
