I was driving on the highway and the car was reading that it had gas, then suddenly it came to a stop, on the highway, the car was towed to the dealer, and it was found that the fuel level sensor had died making the car think it had gas when it in fact had none. The dealer wants to replace the entire tank for $2700, this issue is incredibly dangerous as it can leave anyone stranded anywhere. This car is only 6 years old and this issue can be found on bmws much older then that. BMW knows about the issue, they know it is dangerous and they choose to continue making cars with this is issue. As far as I can tell BMW does not care about the drivers of its cars and only cares about making money by selling death traps to people. If you want to be left stranded and risk getting killed on the highway or getting stranded in the middle of no where, by a BMW. If not, buy a merc or Audi. This issue can happen if the car is under warranty as well. Any BMW that uses the gas tank from the F30 3 series is effected, as well as bmws as far back as the E46.

Vehicle stalled on road way while going 50 plus miles an hour. Shutting off completely. Police were called. Could not get car to shift and move. Needed two different tow trucks to get dollies to move car. BMW replaced fuel pump. BMW says warranty on NHTSA for my year make and model does not apply to my vehicle. I am scared for my life. Felt like I was going to get killed as cars honked going 60 miles an hour around me at 830 at night on beach blvd.
