No reports that I can recall in the 3 years I've been following diesel X5s...
HOWEVER, I just had a major fuel leak in my MDX- drove up to the mountains and within 3 hours a critter had found and chewed a hole in a fuel line in the engine compartment. Very. very strange. Could not have been old as the fuel was gushing from a gnawed hole. Luckily some duct tape and a hose clamp in the junk box in the trunk and I limped to a parts place for a coupling.... GL, report back A |

I would avoid driving it or parking it near me if it's still leaking, unless you are a fan of fire.

^^ It's a diesel. Fire isn't the risk that gas would be....

Update from Dealer
Bad fuel rail connection. No parts in the US, 10+ days to get a new part from Germany. Drawback of engine being built in Germany. The US needs to start carrying more parts for these diesels.

Hmmmm...so I guess that the trans fluid, also not the risk of gasoline, that burned my brothers car to the ground, is not a risk.
Try pouring it on the turbo hot side or exhaust manifold. No, it wasn't a BMW. |

I would not drive it. It is not safe. I would push the BMW Assist button and get it towed to the dealer immediately.
