Low pressure fuel pump failure
Had a "Drivetrain malfunction, Drive moderately" warning light and car lost power on the highway in 5mins. Towed to dealership and low pressure fuel pump was replaced.
Car is 2013 328i with ~50,000 miles. |

me too
Happened to mine too around the same time
2013 N20 ~60K during that time I too had to have it towed. They replaced it since I was still under warranty. |

Same exact failure for my 2012 328i at 70k miles. The total repair cost was $1200 but my extended warrany covered it.

Just curious...Any indication as to the root cause of failure? Did the pump itself fail or maybe the hoses cracked causing drop in pressure/insufficient fueling? Do we know what the weak point of the LPF pump assembly is?

A sensor is failing. Sensor in pump and no way to repair. Thus LPFP is replaced because of the sensor. |

Edit***** I must have overseen that you were covered under warranty. Glad you got it all straightened out.

I had the exact same issue last year after BMW repaired my LPFP on my 2013 335i. My car stalled out of no where and towed to the dealership. Now the Dealership is saying that the reason my car stalled is because of the "built" in fuel sensor is failing on the left side of the tank and my gauge is reporting inaccurate fuel readings. Car stalls around 1/4 tank of fuel left, this doesn't happen all the time but mostly on longer road trips. They quoted me $1,900 for labor and a new fuel tank! Anyone know how I can diagnose this issue myself to make sure its the sensor and not the pump? I have accessed the hidden cluster functions on my dash and have been monitoring how many liters are in each side of the tank, just don't know what to do from here.

ISTA+ would be your best bet. You can find/request it in the coding section of the forums.

Update: I ran my car this weekend until it stalled. I put in 5 gallons of gas because I was in a hurry and couldn't fill up all the way. Yesterday after burning those 5 gallons up, I filled my car up right before it stalled and could only get a max of 11.2 gallons. Any suggestions? I don't think its the sensor because if it was and it truly was empty, I would have put in around 15 gallons.

On the verge of selling the car because of it lol, there isn't a single oem or oem+ direct replacement in existence, and my brand new car has been rendered useless for the past month |

Look it up on realoem.com to find the OEM part number. It will tell you all of the models it was used in. An aftermarket replacement that works in one will work in all. BTW, you should have a B46.That's the US version of the B48.
