About 6 months ago the car started sputtering when you accelerate. I found online that you can take your BMW 750li xdrive in for a customer care package ( they did not call it a recall but a customer care package.) I thought this would correct the problems because they replace some sensors and vacuum hose but the problem is still there. BMW did a full diagnostic and said (remove and replace all injectors (X8), ignition coils (X8),and spark plugs (X8) (during the inspection found the vehicle misfiring) final cost will run $6777 my warranty company will refuse to pay because they wanted to know what would you replace all 8 injectors and all of the other parts because all 8 injectors cant be bad. The warranty company think BMW know they have a faulted injection systems and trying to upgrade and correct the problem at the customer expense. The car burn major oil, BMW claim this is normal.

Since I bought this car in 2012, after warranty the car has constant breakdowns, I have spent >3500 dollars in last year, again got a message "drive train malfunction" about a week ago, took to dealer roadshow BMW in memphis, they said high fuel pump and plugs need to be replaced in about $1000, I agreed and left car, two days later they called that there is another 'plate leaking oil' and needs another $1000 repair. This was not there when I left the care. I called BMW customer service first time, about 6 months ago, with out help, and again yesterday. My car is in shop at dealer.I came to know that this fuel pump problem is very commonly reported in BMW but surprisingly company has not recalled it or accepting responsibility. This is a dangerous situation that could result in fatal accidents and injuries. BMW should be held responsible for repairs and recalls and fixing these problems before fatal injuries occur.
