AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND A POWERSTEERING HOSE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS LOOSING A LOT OF FUEL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (7 GALLONS IN 10 MILES). IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FUEL LINE CONNECTION ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT WAS NOT FULLY CONNECTED AND SPRAYED FUEL OUT. THE CONNECTION IS A FACTORY STANDARD QUICK CONNECT TYPE.. IN MY OPINION, FUEL LINES SHOULD NOT BE OF THIS TYPE OF QUICK CONNECTION, SINCE FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT THE LINES MAY HAVE DETRIMENTAL RESULTS. FUEL LINES SHOULD HAVE THREADED OR SIMILAR TYPE OF CONNECTION. ONCE DISCONNECTED THEY WOULD REQUIRE AN EFFORT IN CONNECTING AND MAY NOT RESULT IN AN INADVERTANT OVERSIGHT. IN MY CASE, IT JUST SPRAYED OUT LOTS OF FUEL IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WHILE DRIVING..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 66440 miles.

THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION. AFTER 14 DAYS, DESPITE WRITING TO BMW AMERICA AND THE DEALERS HEAD OFFICE, THE DEALER KEPT ON CLAIMING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO AUTHORIZE THEM FOR FURTHER WORK THAT MIGHT COST ME AT LEAST $1500.
