Inspect the charcoal canister could be saturated with fuel-leaky fuel pressure regulator-

Raz is correct and if the fuel hoses have not been replaced with the correct fuel line you will want to replace them now. Correct means the fuel hose for BMW fuel injected engines, not the SAE American car hose, it can't take the pressure.
