| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 bmw 325i the vehicle is leaking fuel and from what i think it is the breather pipe. I am very concerned this will generate a serious problem like exploding or any type of fire problem. There is a puddle of fuel every time i park my car. The fuel leak is on the left rear side of the vehicle. The smell is ascending. I strongly believe this is a safety issue and a design flaw,and even though my warranty is expired the manufacturer should and must cover this safety concern before it is too late. |
