Problem overview

Some BMW 328d xDrive owners report experiencing stalling and no start issues due to a failed high-pressure fuel pump, which can necessitate a complete fuel system replacement. This failure can lead to significant problems, as indicated by a recall (Recall 21V-586) addressing high-pressure fuel pump failures in certain BMW models, including the 328d xDrive. While some owners have attempted DIY replacements, this complex process requires careful attention to detail. It is crucial for owners suspecting a high-pressure fuel pump issue to have their fuel system inspected at an authorized BMW center to assess the extent of the problem. In severe cases, where the failure has caused considerable damage, a complete fuel system replacement may be necessary to restore proper vehicle functionality.
