Owner Complaints (2)
Your fuel tank was punctured while driving on the freeway, causing your car to lose power. The plastic fuel tank is mounted low on the right side of the undercarriage, making it vulnerable to damage from road debris like stones. BMW appears to have recognized this design issue, as 2023 models and newer include additional underbody protection that wasn't present on earlier years like yours.

Your check engine light came on, and the dealership diagnosed fuel in the NVLD (evaporative emissions) system, requiring replacement of the NVLD canister, charcoal canister, and tank vent valve. The dealership suggested this was caused by overfilling the fuel tank, though you're confident you never overfill. You're concerned this defect could cause fires if other owners don't address it and want BMW to investigate the frequency of this problem.
