VerifiedHello, my name is ***** ***** I will be helping you with your question today. I've been working on BMWs for over 30 years now, so I should be able to help you through this. Please understand that some of my suggestions may require special diagnostic tools and equipment that many home mechanics may not have, but are often required. So, my first question is whether you're planning on performing your own repairs, or are you wanting to be armed with information before bringing it into your mechanic?
Also, the site automatically prompts for a phone call. Let's hold off on that for now, but if needed after we exchange some information, we can certainly consider that option.
I can definitely offer some general information and ideas as to why this message appeared, but in cases like this, a diagnostic scan is always the first step. This will result in a series of engine fault codes to be interpreted and diagnosed. One of the common issues that happens with these is failure of the high pressure fuel pump. The second most common issue is failure of the low pressure fuel sensor, which monitors fuel pressure coming to the engine from the in-tank pump.
Please let me know if I can offer further information
