The high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) on this model 335is continues to fail after time. The n54 motor was initially released in 2007-2009 and then replaced with the n55. The hpfp on the 2007-2009 models have now an extended warranty due to high failure rates. Bmw re-released this engine in the 2011-2013 335is models only, and they continue to have the same concern as the first set of vehicles. At 54k miles, my vehicle at highway speeds of 65mph lost power and forced me to drive across three lanes of traffic to pull over. The engine computer stated "engine loss of power, drive with caution. It may be possible to continue. Take your vehicle to the nearest bmw service facility." at 82k miles, i was driving the vehicle on a city street and the same warnings appeared again. "engine loss of power, drive with caution. It may be possible to continue. Take your vehicle to the nearest bmw service facility." hpfp failure has loss of power, engine in "limp" mode, initial cold crank lag at startup, misfires in all cylinders, and "check engine light" illuminated.

Water pump failure occurred at 72,000 miles. Part is a costly repair, and bmw will quote $1800 to replace. Car warning on idrive system stated 'engine too hot, pull over and shut engine off.' loss of power at potential highway speeds is a safety concern.

Heater blower wiring recall

NoNoN NoneNone20171214

The belt on my car broke off and i had my car towed into the mechanic shop. Once it was looked at it was said to have jumped time and i had an engine malfunction that is a recall do to bmw. My engine is no longer working and i am left with paying a car note on a bmw that has an engine that jumped time and no longer working. This is a bmw recall and bmw should be held responsible for getting my engine replaced.

Since i had the car at 32k miles. The vehicle would give me the low oil light way before the oil change intervals of 15k. This ultimately lead to catastrophic engine failure. It spun a cam shaft bearing. This has lead to having to replacement of he entire engine with a used one.

Takata recall. I contacted the bmw dealership several months ago to resolve this recall and was told that i would be placed on a waiting list. I have not been contacted yet to fix this issue

Takata recall - i made an appointment with my dealer "east bay bmw" to get the airbags replaced. I received a follow-up call 2 days later informing me that they airbags are not available yet. I'm not forced to drive my unsafe vehicle until parts are available. Am i able to get a rental in the meantime until i'm able to repair this issue?

Takata recall. A fix for recall campaign 16v-071 issued in march 2016 by bmw against this vin has yet to materialize. Bmw clearly doesn't take seriously their obligation to repair this potentially fatal flaw.
