Car loses power 2008 BMW.535I had just gotten it out of the shop (new plugs and new brakes, changed the oil air filter full service) and the next day we had gone out for supper when the car would barrly run it was like it had 2 cyclinders. Had the BMW place pick up and they said it was low fuel pump and they had to order. When they got that in it did not fix it so the put another set of plugs and new coils and high pressure fuel pump in also. They ended up covering the whole bill. But it seems not to run like it use to. Not as much power. I would like to find more info on problem and how they extended warranty.*

Engine malfunction light comes on and there is loss of power. This is the second episode. After the first episode I had taken it to BMW dealer, they had it inspected it and said it was a software glitch and fixed it. I happened today again and had taken my car to BMW dealer and they say it is fuel pump problem and gave a Thursday appointment to look into the problem and told me it was safe to drive. Currently I am facing atleast a 40% power reduction.
