Description of the problem	I purchased a new bmw 535i on may 26, 2008 and on aug 8, 2008 while i was driving my car at 70 miles and hour the car started was shaking as if running on 3 cylinders. There was a message from the car stating engine malfunction reduced power! I waited 3 hours for a tow truck and after a few days i received a call from richmond bmw stating i needed a new high pressure fuel injection system. I said fine and then received a call the next day saying my car was ready. When i picked it up they didn't repair anything they said they were told by munich to just reset the light and claim atmospheric conditions!! On friday september 5th while trying to cross an intersection i was almost t-boned when my car again lost power. Then on saturday september 6th the engine lost power again and same message popped up on the idrive screen. When i went back to the dealer i was told that the high pressure fuel injection was a "high profile" part in munich and therefore they were told to just reset the light to see if it happened again. Needless to say i am outraged that bmw put my family in such danger so as to not have to replace high profile parts. Please investigate what is going on with bmw this is very dangerous as it comes on without notice or warning power just is gone. I have asked bmw to refund my money but they have had my car since september 6th and i am getting nothing but the run around.
