“My Bmw has been having issues since around 40,000 miles and I finally just found out that the high pressure fuel pumps needed to be replaced. It seems to be happening to all of the 760 Bmw's at around 40-50k miles. Bmw is taking no responsibility for this. All you have to do is type in 2003, 2004 or 2005 760LI Bmw and the first thing that pops up is the hpfp. That should give you an idea of how many of these cars are having this issue. There aren't many of these made and it seems like most of them are having this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10493182, filed 2013-01, 40,000 miles“Driving at 75mph my car stalled and the steering became stiff. I barley made it out of the fast lane during heavy traffic and other cars flying past me at 75/80 MPH. Car started back up and I pulled off 1/4 mile later it stalled again. I was in the slow lane (still going 75mph ) and the car stalls again. I called a tow truck and had it towed to my mechanic. My mechanic calls me and says its your high pressure fuel pump. I just had one of my hpfp fail last year now the other side failed. This is a know issues with Bmw v12 engine. Just google Bmw 760LI hpfp. …”
NHTSA complaint #10654898, filed 2014-11, 56,000 miles“The high pressure fuel pumps fail which cause the car to stall and cut off while driving. If you turn the car off and ion it may start back up and run again, but it will continue to stall and cut off. Bmw knows this is a known issue and says bot high pressure fuel pumps need to be replaced at $2700 a piece. My vehicle has 90,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11099383, filed 2018-06, 90,000 miles“Used car purchase. Within 30 days of purchase 760LI began to have problems starting. Once started, idle was rough. Jumped between 0 and 1k rpms while in park. While driving car at approx 20-25 MPH car engine stalled (*unknown to driver as it is a quiet running engine/occupant cab). Power steering was lost and the driver needed to hard crank the steering wheel in order to pull out of traffic and onto roadside safety. This began to occur repeatedly and unexpectedly on every occasion the car was driven. This car is a deathtrap!! Bmw touts it as their flagship vehicle. …”
