Problem overview

Some BMW 750i owners report experiencing engine performance issues after about 20 minutes of driving due to various gas system problems. These issues may stem from a malfunctioning fuel pump that fails to deliver adequate fuel, leading to performance declines as the vehicle runs. Additionally, some owners have noted that a clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, particularly when the engine heats up during extended drives. Faulty fuel injectors are also cited as a cause, disrupting the air-fuel mixture and affecting performance after the car has been in operation for a while. Vapor lock, which occurs when fuel vaporizes in the lines due to excessive heat, can further disrupt the fuel system. Lastly, ignition system problems, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, may only become apparent after prolonged engine operation. It is crucial for owners to have their gas systems inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues, as regular maintenance can help prevent performance problems.
