Description of the problem	I purchased a certified, pre-owned 2008 bmw 535xi with approx. 22,000 miles on 10/23/10. Subsequent to my purchase, i discovered the high-pressure fuel pump in the vehicle had earlier failed and been replaced. On 10/28/10, just 5 days after purchasing - i was driving on a surface street when the car began violently shaking and rocking, the engine lost substantial power and nearly stalled, and the engine malfunction indicator lit. I took the vehicle in for service on 10/28/10 and the vehicle was returned 10/30/10. 3 of 4 fuel injectors were replaced along with all sparkplugs. At high speeds, this type of engine malfunction would pose an extreme safety risk in my opinion. I have contacted bmw usa and the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and i have not been satisfied with the response to-date.
