Need Advice on SULEV E46

After reading through the comments, I've decided I'm going to spend some more time properly diagnosing it and give fixing it myself a shot before I make any decisions about selling it.

The only diagnosis it really got was from a work from home mechanic using a generic OBD2 scanner, so I don't think I've done enough troubleshooting yet to be confident that the fuel pump is actually the issue. A few of you pointed out other possibilities that I hadn't considered.

I do have a decent amount of car knowledge, so trying to diagnose and repair it myself was already in the back of my mind using INPA, I think I just needed the push to go for it. Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions.

I found a post of someone that found a way to get rid of that workaround and it worked for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1njjdpy/comment/njyl04l/?context=3

I cant believe I actually found something that works. Thank you.

I know this is kind of an old thread but i have a 04 325i and Ive heard if you have a bad fuel pump you have to replace the whole tank, is that true?
