My bmw is a 2008 bmw 535xi that was manufactured on 02/2008. I have had an issue with cylinder 4 misfiring so i changed all 6 spark plugs and cylinder 4 ignition coil only to have cylinder misfiring still. I took it to a mechanic and they checked and stated that i had a bad ignition coil because my spark plug and ignition coil smelled like fuel. My friend is a tech at a local bmw dealership and told me not to repair it yet because bmw has issued a recall for my vehicle which is a e61 sports wagon. I will provide the document that shows that my vehicle is under the affected vehicles. When at idle my car shakes. This has been going on for about a year i just never had the money to fix it and didn't know what the issues were until now. I don't know the exact date so i will put today's date.

For over the past year, the (small) engine light has been repeatedly & constantly going on/off. I've had sensors, spark plugs, tubes & everything under the sun replaced and have taken (or towed in most cases) the car to many different auto repair shops for multiple quotes & repairs. The latest problem is the small engine light came on & the car was stuck in park and would not engage in drive or reverse. It wouldn't shift. After turning the car off and then on again, the engine light was completely gone & the car was fine to drive/reverse. After driving the car a few blocks, the engine malfunction/reduce speed light came on, the power was drastically reduced & i almost got hit by a dump truck. In 2008, i bought my bmw brand new because i wanted no car issues because i am not a mechanic. Every since i bought this car i have had nothing but repeated & different issues that no mechanic can identify. And it all started with the high-pressure fuel pump which was replaced three times (hpfp). After the third hpfp was replaced, and the car was in the shop literally for three months straight, i got a lawyer involved and bmw corp apologized & said i could have a choice of: 1/ getting a different car that they picked out (a 535i not the xi i bought because of snow and ice conditions) 2/ they cut me a check for a few thousand and told me to shut up and i could never speak of what happened or be part of future lawsuits or class actions. I've never felt safe driving my 2008 bmw (116k miles on it over 12.5 years) every bmw owner that bought a bmw between the range of years knows exactly what i am talking about re: the constant and never-ending issues that all start with the hpfp & escalate from there. Repair shops can't fix the issues & bmw covers up. Nhtsa hasn't done anything about this massive bmw issue affecting the vast majority of owners. Just google it!

Vehicle stalls, hesitates when driving. Message on the dash says that the fuel pump is failing, but can be driven with decreased performance and to bring the vehicle to bmw. Brought the car to bmw service and they told me that there was a recall on the fuel pump but my car is not covered because i have 159k miles one the said vehicle. Upon further investigation with the service advisor, (carlos - norwalk bmw), who is polite and helpful, we found that the car had already been serviced for three same problem at least 3 times. First is in 2009 when they replaced the high pressure fuel pump. After folloa year 2010, the same problem occurred. The dealership again replaced the same fuel pump. Then on 2013, having the same problem again, the dealership replaced the injectors but the problem is still occurring. The problem had been ongoing and this time, they will not fix the issue because the vehicle is over the 120k miles. I believe that bmw is responsible for the problem that the vehicle was never properly fix in the first place. At least 3 times of having the same problem (that was documented by bmw), and still not resolved! It is a good car, but can be dangerous and could cause an accident. I will not let my wife drive it anymore until i feel it is safe. Problem is intermittent. At low speed, idling, and at highway speeds which can be really scary. I hope they will take responsibility and actually find and fix the issue.

87,000 miles warning light passenger air bag not engaged and may cause damage. Quoted $1800 bmw certified mechanic to replace, fix. Looking for recall as many others experienced the same. Was told that you can't tell whether the airbag will inflate or not. Against the law to disconnect the light. Unable to diagnose without taking the seat apart.
