BOSCH CP4 HPFP failed and released metal shavings throughout all fuel lines, injectors and gas tank. BMW had a recall for 12K vehicles but mine was not on the recall list and BMW cannot explain why given that my fuel pump exploded like so many other BOSCH CP4 pumps. I am not in at least 7K in repairs to replace all the fuel lines, pumps and injectors that the faulty part ruined. I believe BMW knew that these pumps were bad and did not notify all owners that had them in the car. My year, make, model and build date all fit into the recall notice but i was not included. BMW cannot explain why and will not agree to pay for the repair bills.

My car has a coolant leak coming from the plastic pipe underneath the manifold. The BMW dealership said this is a common issue with the bmw. You should definitely do a recall on this issue. It costs $1585 to fox a $30 defective part on these cars.

On/around 4/24/2023, I was driving home at approximately 35mph when I heard a loud noise under the car as if I had run over something. I was able to safely pull into a parking lot and immediately shut off the engine. The vehicle was hard to steer but I managed to do it. There were no warning lamps or messages and the control center said "all systems are okay" I looked under the car and saw a significant amount of oil coming from underneath the car. I opened the hood and saw significant oil on the lower engine. I called AAA and had the vehicle towed to my local BMW dealership where I had worked done recently around 11/2022. My service advisor was able to check the car in and told me he would give me an update the next day. I received an inspection video on 4/25/2023 in which the service technician stated that the car experienced a catastrophic failure: the driveshaft broke and knocked a hole in the oil pan and broke a few other things. The technician is recommending replacing the driveshaft and the engine assembly. The technician stated that there could be other repairs involved. To date, I'm still awaiting to hear back from the service advisor for the cost of repairs. This was a very scary incident and could have been fatal if I was driving on the highway at a higher rate of speed. In fact, it could have been fatal on the road I was traveling on because it was during rush hour traffic. I was extremely lucky to have been able to pull over to safety. I did some research and found that BMW did some recalls regarding the drive shaft failures on certain Xdrive vehicles but mine was not part of those recalls. I have well maintained the vehicle and this should not have occurred. Anything that you can do to assist would be greatly appreciated.

My car is experiencing stalling and stuttering issues due to the failed EGR Cooler that's in recall. This part was replaced by BMW 2 years ago with a different recall with the same part. It's unsafe. Sometimes, my car stalls or stutters while driving which poses a huge risk (especially when turning out onto a street where there's traffic coming towards me). This has happened numerous times. I get a notification "Drivetrain Malfunction" when the car's computer detects there is an issue and it seems to correct the stalling issue. The problem is, the car doesn't always do this while I'm driving. This most recently occurred on 7/9/2022 but has happened many times since the recall was issued in 11/2021. I have not been contacted by BMW with an update on this recall since 1/2022.

Turbo failure Car lost power on busy highway and defaulted to 15mph. Atlanta BMW evaluated problem and said it would be one week and over $8000 in parts and labor. No warning, all maintained up to date just sudden failure

BMW has recalled the HPFP and EGR Cooler but not the EGR valve, which also fails and causes power loss, due to the same issues noted in the other recalls. The EGR valve should be added to the EGR cooler recall. The dealers are hiding behind ambiguity on this point to charge consumers for a common failure that should be covered, for the same reasons the EGR cooler has been recalled.

Timing chain failed and caused the vehicle's engine to shut down. This failure occurred while driving at approximately 70 MPH on Rt. 90 in NY state. The car was traveling in the passing lane. The loss of engine power resulted in loss of steering and maneuverability placing the occupants of this vehicle and other vehicles in a very dangerous situation. Vehicle was towed to a BMW dealership in NY, and upon inspection by BMW technicians, concluded the timing chain failure led to the engine failure and shutting down. There was no warning or any indications of the problem prior to it occurring.

At 65000 miles, the SCR DEF active tank sensor went out. The dealership service department at Roadshow BMW in Memphis said this has become pretty common with BMW vehicles equipped with Diesel engines. The part is $2000 dollars and does not include the labor costs to install ($1335).

My 2014 BMW 535d has barely over 60k miles. Two weeks ago, I received a warning message after turning on the ignition stating that no diesel exhause fluid could be detected. In addition, the message include a mileage countdown starting a slightly over 800 miles. I took the car to Roadshow BMW in Memphis, Tennessee to be repaired. They are telling me that the DEF sensor will have to be replaced. In addition, they said the DEF reservoir will need to be exchanged. The cost for this repair will be approximately $3,352 dollars plus tax. The technician I spoke with said that this is a common issue with BMW's.

Don't have an accurate answer as to what component failed, but all indicators point to the EGR/AGR flap valve failing. Smoke was coming out of the front end of the Intake manifold, after careful visual inspection I noticed a hole was made from the internal fire melting the plastic intake. This could've been a lot worse and the car could have burned. Thank God I reacted quickly and pulled into a non crowded area away from the road and turned the car off.
