AS A CONSUMER AND ALSO READING ABOUT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS, THE OEM PART WHICH BMW IS CHARGING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS OVER $6,000. THE PARTS ARE ONLY FOR THE 2006 760I AND THEY SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT ON A LOT OF PEOPLE. SOME CONSUMERS WERE LUCKY TO HAVE IT GO OUT DURING THEIR WARRANTY BUT SOME HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF EXPENSE AFTER WARDS. IF THIS PART SEEMS TO GO OUT ON A LOT OF 760I MODELS IN BMW THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OUT THEIR TO FIX THEM. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THERE WAS A FEW BUT THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 JUST ON THE FORUM THAT I NORMALLY GO TO FOR ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC AND BMW NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS, ESP
HARD TO START, CRANKS FOR A WHILE TILL IT BUILDS UP PRESSURE THEN STARTS. IDLES ROUGH AND SOMETIMES DIES WHEN SITTING AT STOP LIGHT, AND SPUTTERING POWER AT TIME WHEN TAKING OFF, ALSO WHEN IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT IS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER FOR STEERING AND OTHER CONTROLS, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. CAR HAS 2 FUEL PUMPS. VERY VERY COSTLY REPAIR AT THE DEALER. DEALER SHOULD REPLACE AT THEIR COST.
BAD FUEL PUMPS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT ANY DRIVING SPEED AND THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON YOU WITH NO WARNING. *TR
