Description of the problem	I feel this situation warrants your immediate review for a possible forced recall. My 2008 bmw 335xi began having sporadic problems in september 2009. Because of my distance to a dealership and long time between problems i did not take the car to a dealership immediately. By december the problems became more severe and frequent. The engine warning light would become illuminated, the engine would have substantially lower power and the car would stall without warning. I had first taken the car to a bmw dealership for repair on jan 2, 2009 and then again to a bmw service center 3 more times. In all 4 cases the service department claimed to have made a software adjustment and said the problem was fixed. In all 4 cases the problem was not fixed. It was not until the 5th time taken to a dealer and my calling the regional manager and threatening to return the car that the fuel pump was finally replaced. Based on comments made by technicians i suspect that bmw realizes it has a systemic problem with the fuel pump and they have implemented a stall policy on replacing the units to spread out the financial impact and/or hope the problem extends beyond the warranty period. The danger with this action is that it places the drivers and passengers at risk as the car can stall without out warning such as in an intersection as has happened to me on several occasions.
