Hello all. Tried starting my 325i today and it would turn on but immediately shut off, wouldn’t let me accelerate to try and hold it. Check engine light would turn on when this happened. After around 5 tries it started normally, no check engine, but there was a very strong gasoline smell. I drove it around it feels like it has less power.
I would love to be more specific but this is literally what happened. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
Any ideas?
Thoughts: Don't drive the car if you smell gas. Fires do happen. ......... You can diagnose with INPA, which a free download: http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...xperimentation.

Open the hood and look and smell for fuel. Crawl under car and look and smell for fuel. Have car raised on a lift and look and smell for fuel.
Monitor fuel pressure while this is going on.
