My car broke.

I just purchased the car 700 miles ago and ~20 days. Fortunately I purchased a warranty that has immediate coverage and it will be towed to service on Monday.

I have driven the car a little rough but nothing major. I pulled up to a stop sign and my car just shut off. Prior to this it was running completely fine and I had driven all day. The car would start for 10 seconds and then die and the whole time it had a super rough idle. I was able to get it started long enough to get it to my house 1/10 mile away. I started it this morning and just straight gasoline smell with white smoke billowing out of the exhaust big time. After I turned the car off the white smoke was still coming out of the exhaust for a while. It is also showing drivetrain malfunction constantly and running like garbage.

I know my car is getting looked at Monday but I'm just curious as to what this could be?

It's a 2013 DCT with 41k miles.

I had a lot of white smoke from my exhaust, drive train malfunctions, misfires on either side banks....and car suddenly died while driving slowly through my neighborhood; luckily couple blocks from my house.

Turned out it was my in-tank low pressure fuel pump failing. Had it replaced along with EKPS unit and everything is right again.

Thank you for the reply. Luckily my warranty company is able to get a flat bed out today. I will update this thread as I hear more if anyone else has a similar problem. I died only a couple blocks from my house too. Thank goodness. I was able to start her up and limp it home instead of pushing.

My SA said it definitely sounds like a fuel problem and is probably an injector or the fuel pump. I will hear more tomorrow morning.

Had the same exact thing happen to me during a run at an 1/2 mile event. turned out it was an injector and got the whole bank replaced along with the cat on that side from being drenched in fuel.

Low/high fuel pressure pumps are weak on any bmw. I may change mine before it dies on me.

BMW stating that all injectors and spark plugs need to be replaced. The injectors failed on cylinders 4,5,6 I think.

Houston direct had a 13 for sale with 41k miles for like 38k almost had every package but had a accident. Still the price was good but when I did some research I realized the car was for sale for over 2.5 years. Not sure why it didn't sell for
So long but someone bought it recently thought that might be OP.

I knew it would be injectors. Maybe your car was sitting for a while as well ?

In any case glad you got it taken care of under bmw warranty. Do u have a aftermarket one too?

Yes, I have an aftermarket warranty as well. They would've covered the repair had I not called BMW USA to ask about the injectors and see if my vin was apart of the extended injector warranty. My SA had no idea.
