From a stop: Upon depressing the gas pedal, there is a delay in the reaction of the car to move forward. As it moves, it lunges forward because of the added gas suddenly propelling the car. As a result, you can either move forward extremely slow from the start or jump forward pulling you back into the seat. On the highway: Occasionally, sudden increased speed, as needed for passing, is denied and the car actually travels at a continued steady speed. If you've ever moved into an available lane to discover a speeding vehicle closing on you rapidly, you'll get one hell of a scare when your car fails to move faster to get out of the way. Been there and turned white as a ghost. I heard on the radio in miami that the need for this recall was known to BMW but repeated requests to BMW to address this recall have gone unanswered except that the dealers don't have notice yet from BMW corporate. Note: I brought this problem to the attention of BMW dealers and corporate in 2011 and periodically since with no help. To my knowledge they never mentioned it on any repair orders and only told me that the car adjusts to the manner in which individual drivers operate the car so as my wife drove the car primarily, I as a secondary driver would need to allow time for the car to adjust to my way of driving. In 2015 my wife began driving a maserati full time and I was relegated to the X5. The faulty acceleration has never changed and my wife, since 2015, has noticed the acceleration problem where before she became used to the way the car reacted.

The vehicle experienced a high pressure fuel pump failure. Upon merging on to a highway the following symptoms occurred: Backfiring, loss of power, misfires, and reduced engine performance. The vehicle was unable to maintain nominal fuel pressure in the fuel rail. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced as per BMW service documentation which required the replacement of the throttle body gasket, and 2 aluminum bolts securing wiring harness to the engine block. There were numerous fault codes present. All were consequential except for "002C01 high pressure fuel, plausibility pressure too low".

My 2011 X5 has an egr cooler leak, which is leaking diesel exhaust under the hood andinto the cabin of the car. The engine and egr cooler is covered in black soot and there is a strong diesel exhaust smell under the hood and in the cabin of the car. The egr cooler is leaking diesel exhaust constantly while the car is running. BMW service center and a third party service center have confirmed this issue and said that they have encountered many cases with the same issue. They do not know why a recall has not been issued because diesel exhaust can cause cancer and poses a significant health risk. BMW has recalled the egr valve but not the egr cooler.

For the past year or more, driving any distance started fits of yawning. On occasion it has been difficult to stay awake. On July 27, 2015 I apparently blacked out in very heavy traffic and woke up having collided with the vehicle in front of me. Diagnosed as pre-diabetic, I believed this was my problem, and unrelated to my vehicle. However, my car took 31 days to repair, and while driving the rental car this yawning never again occurred. Yesterday (September 24, 2015) it happened again. No collision, but great difficulty getting home, even with the driver's window open for maximum fresh air. I am convinced that the vehicle is leaking carbon monoxide into the passenger cabin. It's going back to the dealer today

Severe acceleration delay from a stop pulling out into traffic nearly caused me to be broadsided. During the first 1/2 to 1 second after depressing the accelerator there is little to no reaction from the vehicle. After this pause, which is well beyond what could cause an accident, the vehicle surges uncontrollably. I found myself sideways on a wet paved road. My natural inclination after the pause was to press for more gas, any other reaction would have left me sitting in the middle of oncoming traffic. This complaint is well documented when researching BMW acceleration lag or throttle tip in on the internet. It is incredible that BMW would be able to allow such unsafe programing of their vehicles. This is sure to have caused accidents. I was lucky, others may not be.
