My Ride: '06 M5 Silver/Grey BLK, HUD, SMG, fully Loaded...RPI Scoops Red, Block Off Plates, BMC Filters. Hyper Silver Painted Wheels, RPI Full GTS Exhaust
Hi All,
I just got back from a 10 day trip, car sat in my driveway - I went to start it and all went fine, car fired right up. I walked away for 2 minutes to let it warm up, and it started to idle low - then just burrrr died out. Couldnt start it again! I let it sit for an hour and it started back up, but once I touched the gas it died again. I fully charged the battery and not wont start at all. Anyone have this issue, seems weird to me - maybe dirty fuel filter or car is not getting spark?

No offence, but did you check fuel level?
If okay, then I suspect a bad pump, or even a fuel tank sensor!

Ahh just what I thought, fuel pump went bad - thats what I get always running around on empty 
Glad its CPO - fix it bitches!! AHHAA love when I dont have to pay a dime and get a loaner. Feel bad for whoever buys this loaner from the dealer....
