My Ride: Retired: 2007 530i Silver Gray/Gray Leather, premium/sport/logic 7/hd radio/comfort access/park distance control
2010 535i M Sport Alpine White/Black premium/M-Sport,L7,Sat,HD Radio/Paddle Shifters/heated seats/comfort access/navigation/sport gear stick
Afternoon,
2010 M sport 535i, running perfect from day one, 10,000 miles on it now. Has hesitated to start last couple of mornings, then today coming back from lunch lost power and got a message "engine malfuntion, reduced power" then the car was shaking at every stop and hesitating. Got it back to my office, (only a mile). When I parked it and turned it off, restart started as normal no message. Any advice? Should I have it towed immediatly?
I am guessing this is the dreaded fuel pump issue?
Thanks.

I wouldn't necessarily have towed immediately...but I would definitely get it to the dealer pretty quick. It does indeed sound like you are starting to have HPFP issues.

Bad HPFP Or bad fuel injectors & spark plugs. Had same error message. Dealer replaced all injectors & spark plugs but said the fuel pump was okay. That was 3 months ago and have no problem since.
