The high-pressure fuel pump failed causing the engine to stop completely without any prior warning and the car put itself in park on the highway and would not get out of park to go into neutral or any other gear. This could have caused a very serious crash and highly increased my risk of injury or death. You are more than welcome to inspect it. It is currently sitting at the dealership waiting for a resolution. My safety and the safety of many others on the 65mph highway were put at risk when the car completely stopped in the middle of the road and would not move until the tow truck arrived to drag it on their truck (would not even go into neutral). The problem was confirmed by the BMW dealership of Cincinnati and inspected by them as well. There were absolutely no warning messages, signs, or anything informing me of an issue before this occurred. However, once the car was towed and we turned it back on once it arrived at the dealership and warning lamp appeared on the dashboard. Here is the link to the video the dealership sent me after it was inspected :: https://api.mykaarma.com/video-walkaround/details?inspection_uuid=633c93939e372707d24145f0&fileType=video

I was driving appx 45 mph (speed limit) on a Suburban street when the car ran out of power, slowed down to a crawl and became totally limp. Meanwhile, the image on the navi screen stated, "powertrain failure, drive moderate speed" or something like it. I managed to make a very slow left turn onto a cross street B/C I was in shock. I was almost killed by an oncoming car going 45-50 mph. I had the car towed to rusnak BMW; after investigation, they stated it had a "bad fuel pump, " and that they have "countless fuel pump problems with BMW diesel cars". the car now has a new fuel pump. I could have died!
