general problems of the 2008 BMW 328

Unknown.

The vehicle, stopped while driving, overheating, no heat/ ac. It's winter, car stopped at night in an unknown location fory safety. Had it inspected by 2 different auto shops and was confirmed of the issue. Warning lights came on right before the car failed.

On all e90 series 3 (2008 BMW 328i), the pcv valve fails and is welded into the valve cover, thus if it leaks or gets cracks in the orange membrane, it will cause car to stall. . I almost crashed 2x and this part should be recalled. . It affects the fuel air ratio in BMW e90, and the car will run lean and not receive enough gas as air is leaking from the broken membrane in the pvc valve. BMW will throw engine codes with lit check engine light on dash. This should be a recall as the whole valve cover has to be replaced to replace a defective $10 pcv valve which is ludicrous. . . The dealer charges thousand dollars and up to replace a ten dollar part. The car has rough idle and will stall, creating a dangerous driving situation and fatal accident . Please recall to have BMW dealer fix these plastic pvc valves on e90s. . . I have enclosed pic of the valve . . It also has a spring but the plastic orange mebrane cracks, breaks and leaks air inside valve, causing check engine codes, rough idle and stalling of vehicle. . The valve is located on top of valve cover, welded into valve cover. Please help. . Thank you state florida p. S. Heat causes the pcv membrane to crack more~~pic enclosed of pcv valve its welded into top valve cover. . No other car has a pcv valve mounted this way so whole valve cover needs to be replaced~ thank u.

The car was over heating and not starting as well as fuel pump error on my dash. There is an open recall on my vehicle starting March of 2022 it is now June and BMW says they don’t know when they will have a remedy for this and it could be months but I need my car.

The plastic power pieces that goes over the battery melted. Ever since then I have had electrical problems. My concern is when that pieces melted it could have caused a fire. I dint even know it melted till I started have electrical problems and had to look at my battery. As far as the fuel problems I have a n51 and from what I understand the parts for it are hard to find I would like to know more about the BMW 15yr/150,000 mile warrenty that the BMW forms are talking about.

I received recall notice for airbag, pcp valve heater,and blower motor wiring. In 2013-2015 my BMW was shaking heavily and scarily while driving and sitting at red lights. I spent $5,306 over 5 different bills from 4/1/2013 through 12/18/2015 which I will attach. As of today, 2/26/2018 the car is at the shop and a number of issues were presented including spark plug ignition, power steering in 3 points (reservoir suction hose, flush fluid), rear differential, pinion seal, both axle seals, needed reseal and rebuilt, motor valve covers, leak in suspension, and additional issues I could barely keep up with writing down as the mechanic was speaking them over the phone. He estimate $4,800 (this was midas, it would be more at the rockville BMW in rockville MD).

My vehicle has 2 active recalls (campaign #17v-676 and 17v-683) both of which affect the motor and can result in fire to the vehicle. We have already experienced melting parts making the vehicle inoperable.

Experienced same problem noted in NHTSA campaign # 14v176000. Vanos bolt sheared off, connected to the intake camshaft, then timing chain broke and came off.

The car use take a look a long time to start now it's not starting at all it just makes noise.

This is well-documented on BMW forums. The adaptive driver memory logic causes a throttle lag of up to 1 second. This lag can be temporarily eliminated by resetting the throttle body adaption. The unnecessary throttle lag causes an unnecessary safety hazard by delaying the car's throttle response. BMW should issue a software update that allows owners to permanently disable or lock down the feature. The problem happens mainly when the car is stopped an in-gear. When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the computer delays the signal to the throttle body by up to 1 second. This delay increases the likelihood of a collision by causing an the car to unnecessarily respond in a manner that is different from the driver's intent. There is a 5-step procedure that owners can follow to temporarily reset the throttle body adaption, but the computer eventually re-learns the unsafe behavior. BMW has refused to acknowledge the problem even though it has been documented in several BMW models, engines, and model years, including the 328i, the 528i, the 750li, and others. In my case, I was stopped in traffic and attempted to accelerate and change lanes quickly in order to avoid an obstacle. The driver behind me interpreted the car's delay as inaction and performed the same maneuver, subsequently causing a rear-end collision when another car in front also accelerated and moved into the other lane and caused several cars to stop. If my car had responded appropriately when I applied the accelerator pedal, the tow truck behind me might have delayed his action.

I have had my car in at least three separate occasions for my 2008 BMW 328xi e90 sedan losing all power randomly! the latest incident, in the first weeks of August, almost got me killed! a transportation bus stopped suddenly in front of me on a 3 lane highway and I went into the middle lane to pass the bus. I had slowed from the speed limit of 55 down to about 30 miles an hour, switched lanes and then punched the gas in order to resume speed of the rest of traffic. The car stalled with no power whatsoever for about three seconds. An 18 wheel truck came within 50 feet of me or so and almost killed me, then the car suddenly regained all power and I was able to avert the collision! it is so frustrating that there are at least three other owners out there that have reported this issue online and BMW has done nothing to fix this problem. There are no codes, no lights, nothing. I just had my car in the dealer for two weeks and they ran fuel pressure tests, drove the car, etc. The car stalled once on them, but then they could not duplicate the problem again. . Read more...
