FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE HAD TWO FUEL PUMPS REPLACED FOR MY BMW 335I AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE WERE VERY LONG CRANKS WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND ONE TIME MY CAR EVEN ALMOST BROKE DOWN AND WOULDN'T START ON ME... BMW REPLACED BOTH THE FUEL PUMPS THAT WENT DEAD AND FOR ONE OF THEM I HAD TO WAIT THREE WEEKS TO GET IT... =/ VERY MAD!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DRIVE A BMW 335I AND THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. INDICATIONS WERE LONG CRANK TIMES, ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND SHUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. I KNOW OF MANY OTHER BMW'S WITH THE TWIN TURBO ENGINE THAT HAVE/HAD THIS PROBLEM. BMW NEEDS TO COMPLETELY REDESIGN THE FUEL PUMP SO SERIOUS INCIDENTS DO NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

INITIALLY, CAR WAS SLOW TO START AFTER PRESSING START BUTTON. IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN POWER. CAR WAS NOT RESPONSIVE AT ALL WHENEVER I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. EXHAUST NOTE BEGAN TO SOUND LIKE THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE MUFFLER. AFTER 1 OR 2 DAYS, A YELLOW SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED IN DASHBOARD DISPLAY. AFTERWARDS CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD STALL OUT UNLESS I DEPRESSED PEDAL TO KEEP RPMS UP. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A COMPUTER PROGRAM FAILURE. ON MY WAY HOME AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED AND THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CAR SUBSTANDARD PERFORMANCE. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE CAR IS TILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THE PART HAS NOT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP YET. *TR

FUEL PUMP COMPLETELY FAILED; CAR UNDRIVABLE, WOULD START AND THEN STALL 5-10 SECONDS LATER. INITIAL STALL OCCURRED PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A HIGHWAY. BMW TOWED THE CAR TO CLOSEST DEALERSHIP & DIAGNOSED AS HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE. PUMP REPLACED, CAR OUT OF SERVICE FOR ~5 DAYS DURING REPAIR. OCCURRED WITH ~18K MILES ON VEHICLE. MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS OF OTHER 335I VEHICLES WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS - THIS REQUIRES A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

2007 335I WENT SUDDENLY INTO A LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME DUE TO THE SUDDEN SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND DRIVE INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. THEY HAVE PROMISED TO GET IT REPAIRED IN COUPLE OF DAYS. MY CAR JUST HAD 6000 MILES AND IT IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. I SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WAY BACK FROM 2006. IF BMW WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, WHY DID THEY NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SELLING THE CAR? *TR

APRIL 2007 BUILD BMW 335I COUPE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DUE TO FAILURE OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. AFTER TAKING IT TO A BMW DEALER, IT WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SOLVED IN MY CAR. HOWEVER, I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATIVELY COMMON AMONG 335I OWNERS AND IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. A CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM IS PRONE TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THAT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SCENARIO. IN MY CASE, BMW WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT REPLACING THE PART. BUT I THINK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY MAY NOT KNOW THAT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM IS LURKING IN THEIR CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS ON THE BMW ENTHUSIAST FORUMS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY BMW 335I FROM A COSTA MESA USED CAR DEALER. THE PROBLEM WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS DISCLOSED TO ME AT TIME OF PURCHASE. HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS AT ONE TIME IN ITS LIFE, AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHER 335I OWNERS ARE FACING. WHILE I DIDN'T PROVIDE THE VIN NUMBER, THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER 2006. THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A CA BMW DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS ULTIMATELY BOUGHT BACK BY THE DEALERSHIP, REPAIRED, SENT TO AN AUCTION, WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM IN APRIL 2008. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE VEHICLE HAD 4000 MILES, SO THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED RATHER QUICKLY. *TR

SLOW STARTING STARVING FOR GAS ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR OVERNIGHT. THIS LEADS TO THE CAR GOING INTO LIMP MODE THAT IS DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD. A COMMON ISSUE WITH DBW NEW 335 ENGINES, FUEL PUMPS HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MANY CARS EITHER NOT STARTING OR GOING INTO LIMP MODE. REPLACED WITH THE SAME PUMP THAT HAS FAILED IN MANY CARS FROM 2007 TO NOW 2008 MODELS. *TR

DRIVING ON SIX-LANE HIGHWAY 101 NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, CROWDED HIGHWAY, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND STALLED IN THE FAST LANE. TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND CAR ALMOST REAR-ENDED CAR THREE-TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FRANTICALLY PULL TO A SAFETY LANE.
