While driving both in regular traffic and highway traffic the car has without warning gone into a limp mode shuddering allowing no power at all to the accelerator. A message pops up "drivetrain malfunction maximum drivetrain output not at available. If you get pulled over turn the vehicle off wait a couple minutes turn the ignition back on the vehicle runs like that never happened.

My girlfriend has owned this vehicle for about two years now. Along with other maintenance (all understandable until now) there is a $2000 cost. The Fuel tank has started leaking due to a major design flaw by BMW.

WHILE IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO SPUTTER AND LOSE MOMENTUM. AT THE SAME TIME, A WARNING ALERTED US TO A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION". LUCKILY, WE WERE IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST BMW DEALER IN LAS VEGAS WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 17,000 MILES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT BMW HAS A HISTORY OF FUEL PUMP RECALLS ALTHOUGH NONE FOR OUR MODEL YEAR. THIS INCIDENT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS CONSIDERING THE CAR SUDDENLY BEING INOPERABLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. WERE WE NOT IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.

Fuel tank split at factory seam causing fuel to pour out of tank when full. This issue happened after filling tank and driving a short distance. When I came out to my car which was parked, I noticed a large puddle of gas under the driver's side of the vehicle.
