My car shut off on the highway due to my fuel pump delivery system. My gauge is not reading I have enough gas leading me to believe I had gas in my car until it completely shut off. I was able to safely get my car out of the road due to the fact it was early morning and very minimal cars were on the road. I also now currently as well have an issue with the engine, coolant and oil having a leak. According to bmw I need to completely change my intake manifold there is too much leakage and just changing certain components won-??t fix it. The whole things needs to be removed and replaced. Once I crank my car up within 10 seconds you can see the smoke start to build up under the hood. I-??m pretty sure if I leave it running it will catch fire it-??s thick white smoke and it has melted something silver inside as u can see the silver is now black due to it burning.So I write this due to me doing research as to what could have caused these issue and I see there is a recall for the same vin but my not specific car. I anm having the EXACT same issues with my car as the recall. I have 3 of the issues that the recall is for but my model I guess is not included. also have lighting issues.. my back lights tend to work when they want according to pep boys a board of some sort needs to be replaced because the bulbs will not stay in place. Is there a way to add my model to the recall list as it needs to be fixed my car is not operational at this time due to the risk of a fire under the hood

My 2015 BMW 320I gave me a warning of charging malfunction warning so I took my car to BMW service for an inspection. This was in April 2019. The service advisor let me know I could need a new battery so I approved new battery if that's what it needed. Once inspected further I was told there was an oil leak and that caused my drivebelt to deteriorate and slide off belt tensioner. The oil leak was due to needing a new oil filter housing gasket, so I replaced that as well. I wasn't what created the oil leak issue only that I needed to replace the belt tensioner, housing gasket and drive belt. I was told this was why my charging malfunction warning came on. My battery was fine, no need to replace. 3 months later September 12th 2019 the charging malfunction warning comes on again. This time I'm told they're 80% sure I need a new battery. So I approve the battery and I receive a call that my car needs a new alternator. The alternator is not creating charging voltage which make my battery voltage low causing the charging malfunction. My car a 2015 BMW, it is 4 years old. In this last year I have had issues with the charging malfunction and still can't figure out the problem.
