I've had to replace the egr module to avoid catastrophic results. an identical issues resulted in a recall from bmw for diesels from other years: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/bmw-recalls-diesel-cars-and-suvs-for-fire-risk/ . however, bmw has chosen not to expand the recall to cover this engine failure in all of the diesels. it's potentially only a matter of time before this starts to show up with increased frequency.
The car is in the shop every week i have had it towed 12 times since may. i took it in for the recall (electrical issued recently) the vehicle ran great, now the dealership says i need 3 new injectors. the injectors are bad. i am reading reviews and others stated their bmw's need new injectors. so is their a recall for injectors i did not see? the car stahled while i was driving it stopped in the middle of the road.
The vehicle continues to stahl and now the dealer said it was the high/low fuel pumps and injectors which cost more than the vehicle. i am stuck making payments this car is junk and the car needs to be recalled...... every month i have a problem since october the vehicle has been in the shop 12 times. the injectors, fuel pump i was told the catalytic converter, injectors and now fuel pump
