It took me a couple months of troubleshooting, searching, and repairing to get the X5 back on the road because of the fuel issue. After replacing 1 ignition coil, 8 spark plugs, 1 fuel pump motor, 2 CPS sensors, and finally the fuel filter, the SUV can run until the tank is literally empty. No more no start or car dies while running issues.
