| I tried to start up the car, it started, i drove a few feet, and then failed. i received a warning message saying that the engine malfunctioned. i was in the middle of the parking lot so i managed to get it to start again, it barely moved, and then failed again. one more time i was able to start it and get it into a parking space. i tried to start it up multiple times again but nothing happened. i called bmw to have it towed. | |||

| While driving at about 45 mph the engine sputtered with a message displaying engine malfunction and the vehicle lost power and stalled all happening within about 5 seconds. the vehicle was then towed to the bmw dealership. we were advised by their master technician that the fuel pressure rail sensor was defective and needed to be replaced (diag code: d1350_00000000_04_02 and fault 48a9 & 3f31). we asked him if this could somehow be prevented and he replied no and went on to say that he has never heard of this happening before. his comment was troubling to us, since we just got done driving about six hours on the freeway when this incident happened near our home. what if this happened on the freeway? i probably would not be here filing this complaint! please investigate so that this can be prevented from others experiencing this trauma. *tr | |||
