Description of the problem | Driving along highway on right lane, coming along to a highspeed merge. Vehicle lost significant power, error message on dash displayed limp mode engine malfunction. I was not able to accelerate and caused a sever back up in highway to get on shoulder. Bmw stated a software upgrade was needed to correct error. I received the car back within a week. Again i was driving when the same exact error stated above happened. This time at least i was in a somewhat low traveled area and had no problem pulling over. Tech at bmw said the fuel pump was at fault and many cars of my make and model have this problem, but no real solution to the fuel pump failures had been found by bmw. |
