Description of the problem	The car started but it started extremely "rough" with the engine rpms racing then dropping down to 500 rpms, feeling like it was going to stall. Eventually it evened out. Unfortunately starting issues are a frequent occurrence since i purchased this car and it has been to the dealer several times for similar starting issues. They replaced: the high pressure fuel pump which bmw knows it has issues with, made "software" updates, and replaced the dma. This time, however, when i began to drive it and turn on to a busy street, i essentially lost most of the power in the car. It was extremely disconcerting to step on the gas, expect the car to respond and it didn't. This could have been a disaster if it had happened while attempting to get on a busy freeway. Thankfully, it wasn't but i am worried it will happen again if i attempt to drive it to the dealer. After researching to see if others have had similar issues, indeed they have. All issues seem to be related to bmw's high pressure fuel pump issue, which they clearly have not solved given many have been replaced several times with the same unfortunate outcome of going bad again. I have had mine replaced by the dealer but am now having issues again. Detailed accounts are all over the internet (some serious safety issues as it has happened on the freeway) and i am surprised the nhtsa hasn't done any serious investigation, nor forced bmw to recall either the vehicle or replace all parts that are affected and needed to correctly fix the issue (fuel pump, low pressure sensor, fuel injectors, etc.). I am considering contacting reporters because this is a toyota type safety issue waiting to happen. While it may only happen in a certain % of vehicles, does someone have to die to have this issue taken seriously and properly corrected? People have been "lucky" thus far, but this really is a safety issue and someone must force bmw to address it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
