general problems of the 2007 BMW 335

The contact owns a 2007 BMW 335i. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled with the yellow check engine warning light displayed on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle behind him came to a screeching halt to avoid causing a major accident. Multiple attempts to restart the vehicle failed, resulting in the vehicle being towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic determined the failure to be a defective high-pressure fuel pump. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 177,000.

I bought a 2007 BMW 335i convertible on March 10th 2022. On March 18th I left my house and as I was pulling out of my neighborhood the vehicle cut off at about 25 miles an hour and as I pulled over I noticed black smoke coming out from under the hood. There were no warning lights on with the exception of a random airbag light that came on the day after I bought the car and a tire pressure monitor light. My wife and I pulled over and I ran to a nearby house and took a case of dasani water from painters who were working (with their permission). I got the fire put out within minutes of its starting but the wiring harness is completely melted together along with all of the induction piping to the turbos and the intake manifold and fuel line. I told the car home and had my insurance agent look at it. She said because it was a fire it would be a mechanical issue and needed to go to the BMW dealership. I paid to have it towed there that day. The dealer called me about an hour after the car showed up there and said that they would not service or inspect the vehicle for damage because I have the wrong insurance company. I was forced to tow the car back home after being turned away by several other dealerships and collision centers due to the high volume of mechanical work already on their lots. BMW has open recalls on 3 series vehicles because they can have engine fires. My car for some reason is not one of the ones they cover under that recall. Still have no resolution from my insurance company on what to do because the car hasn't been officially inspected by a BMW technician. I've now towed the car three times and I'm exactly where I was at the beginning of this claim.

The oil filter housing gasket, the mechatronic transmission and the electrical system failed. Yes, it is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk as a result of my vehicle losing power suddenly while I was driving on the highway. I was driving at the highway speed limit and my vehicle malfunctioned and lost power while others were at high speeds. I had to abruptly stop almost causing an accident. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by the BMW service center. The vehicle has been inspected by the BMW dealer service department. The warning lamps that came on my dashboard were the check engine light, oil level light, and the transmission light. The car was running poorly. The engine wouldn’t crank and then it would jolt after driving. I would smell oil occasionally. The symptoms first appeared in 2011. I had my vehicle serviced at BMW regularly. In 2016 the symptoms got worse despite having my vehicle serviced for the same issue. I had the repairs done at BMW and when I drove it for the first time after getting it repaired it still failed.

Earlier this year in February I have replaced the alternator and some other major part right after purchasing from dealership and I have seen all the other recent recalls for the vehicle also it appears to have recalls that have not been worked on by manufacture . There also were no signs that came on also the wheel tightened up and stopped on me out of no where while driving. This being the second time this has happened as on new years I was on the freeway on my way home and the car did the same when I first replaced the alternator.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 BMW 335i/. The contact stated that while at work the vehicle was parked on a side ramp.

My vehicle has multiple codes for faulty fuel injectors. A recall campaign was initiated I n 2010 to repair these injectors. I believe the recall campaign was titled 10e-a02: replace fuel injectors. The eligiblity was listed as vehicles with production dates from 4/01/2007 to 11/30/2008. Vehicles included were BMW e90 models. I have a 2007 e90 model with a production date of 3/2007. It is peculiar that the production date did not include all vehicles in that model year. I have researched and determined that the part number on my fuel injectors were the same as the part numbers of the fuel injectors for vehicles produces in 4/2007 and for the rest of that model year. I feel my vehicle should be included in that recall, please advise. 10.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Have not heard back from dealer for air bag recall. Car is also producing smoke in engine bay and strong smell of burning through vents is present. Receive notice of recall for blower motor wiring but the car is definitely well in need of recall service as smoke is very visible and burnin order is very apparent in engine bay and through vents.

The car has had numerous issues since purchased. This all came to a head when driving home, under normal conditions, it suddenly would not shift past 1st gear. I proceeded to pull off to a side street and attempt to idle home, as I was about 1 mile from home. After approximately . 5 mile, the transmission suddenly lost first gear, there was an audible bang under the hood, and the car completely lost power. After being in a service center for a couple weeks, I am now informed that the engine is locked down and that the car will require a new engine to be working again. This car had been an absolute nightmare and has turned me quite calloused towards Bmws quality standards.

Immediately took my foot off the accelerator and began to coast in idle state to the shoulder (CA 101 fwy) 5 lanes over. Before I was able to move to the 3rd lane the vehicle stated ¿engine to hot¿, turned off, lost power (much like if you run out of gas), and I frightfully merged creeping along to the shoulder narrowly missed being hit by several other trucks and vehicles. I went to lift the hood, expecting to be overwhelmed by heat and conditions that would cause a BMW to disable suddenly and lose power. I observed no conditions of heat or unusual to cause a shut down. I was able to turn car on again in 10 minutes with no problems the temperature was no different or warmer than I have ever felt before, conditions were 72/*f, traffic was moving along at a good flow, with light cool bay area breeze. This has occurred 3times now, I have filled the coolant, I have had the starter and battery replaced and yet the same occurrence comes up. . Read more...

My car might have turbo charger issue that was settle under class action in 2010 . I'm being charged for repairs that will able BMW to make diagnosis for that problem at first for vacuum turbo lines almost for 1000 dollars and today for some other issue another 500. I'm being pressured by BMW to fix it or quit. The extended warranty is only till 82 thousand miles. So either I pay or end up not knowing if my car has this issue. When I was driving and trying to speed to pass another vehicle my engine light came on saying that engine is not working in full capacity and to slow down or stop. . . Pls help me to resolve that issue. Thank you. I called BMW or northern America and spoke with sky and was told that it is what it is and I have to pay since the mechanics know better what needs to be done. When I asked for somebody that is in direct relations with BMW of germany I was told that he is the top of the line person and entity in his self. I feel that anything related to this issue should be cover by BMW not me.

While trying to pass on a busy highway I was trying to excel speed get pass semi truck. When out of no where my car loss power and almost caused a huge accident. I wasn't prepared for that, or have heard of such a thing. After researching it it seams to be a BMW problem with these cars. I literally just got my car back from my local BMW dealer in charlottsville va same day. Spent a lot of money on this car and planned on keeping it for atleaat another 7 yrs or more. Usually if you maintain your car it will last forever, but guess not if the actual dealer doesn't know how to manufacturer one correctly. This was a car I always wanted BMW is known luxury and sport . Just crazy they do not respect the customers more than they do. I just wanted put my complaint in with everyone else's, seeing there's a lot.

I drove to the gas station left car alone for no more than 5 minutes. And when I come back I try to start the car and tries to start but doesnt have the power too, then I get a jump start and drive home and the next day same things happen. Battery was changed out by shop just about a week ago.

High pressure fuel pump failed on freeway causing immediate loss of 70% of power. Dealership is also saying that fuel injectors are faulty. After looking through different internet websites it seems to be a common problem in early 335i models. Almost crashed because of it.

The wastegate value arms are loose and they rattle. They may come loose and not work. Which could result in the engine not working. It get worse the longer you drive the car. This is well documented on youtube that all 2007 335i's have this problem. I just feel that BMW should make this a recall.

Car suddenly looses power and displays "engine malfuntion reduced power output. " this is scary and upsetting when driving on houston highways with 18 wheelers passing you. You need to safely pull over to the shoulder, restart the car, and the warning goes away, the power comes back and you never know when and where this will happen again. Very unsafe and disturbing.

While accelerating on a highway, the car lost power and started to shake. I had to pull off on the shoulder while decelerating while cars around me were honking and driving around to pass me. I was lucky not to have been in a collision. The "engine malfunction" light and "service engine soon" light turned on. After coming to a stop on the side of the road, I turned off the car for a few minutes and restarted it - it drove fine but the "service engine soon" light stayed on. It has happened many times since.

2007 BMW 335i (build date 11/06): car displays "engine malfunction" and engine power is substantially reduced without any warning or predictability. Turning car off and then restarting resets everything and then the car will run normally until the next episode of "engine malfunction. " BMW dealership has checked engine fault codes and believes that this problem is related to premature wear of the "camshaft bearing ledge. " I have already had my fuel pump replaced and now the car is behaving exactly the same way but BMW is now claiming another engine fault (camshaft bearing ledge) as the source of the sudden and unexpected engine power loss. I have owned Bmws all my life and have never as disappointed with a car as I have with this one. It is my opinion that the engine in this car is so unrealiable (unpredictable power loss due to muliple reasons. . . Not just the fuel pump) that it presents a serious safety hazard for BMW 335i owners as well as other motorists.

Constant failure in my 2007 BMW 335i sedan. Random loss of power when driving on the road. Lights do not light up the path of driving very well. I have taken my vehicle in at least 6-7 times for these issues and it has not been fixed. This is a known issue with this model. I do not know what else to do. I would hope BMW would recall such a defect. Per BMW recommendation I had the engine decarbonized as they said this would make the vehicle run to spec. The fuel pump was recently replaced as it was faulty and a new spark plug put in place. The car now runs rough and the engine is loud. Everytime I take it to BMW they say its running fine. I will bring my vehicle in once again tomorrow to have them take a look at it.

My american specs BMW 3. 35xi lost significant power and went into limp mode on the autobahn (a6) near bad durkheim, germany while traveling at 100 mph up a hill passing a car in the left lane, nearly causing an accident (being struck from behind by a car traveling at estimated 130 mph in the left lane. I am a military officer stationed overseas and do not know how to file a complaint that nearly killed me.

When I tried to make a sharp u turn on a hillside street, the car suddenly accelerated, and stopped with its belly stuck on the curb and the rear wheels in the air after hitting the guard rail across the street. It was so sudden, and the car jumped about 12 feet instantly, and hit the rail. Since the street is sloping down, I never accelerate when I come down the hill. This model has a turbo problem, and the warranty is extended on the turbo part up to 10 years. This car had a several starting problems before, and displayed the "check engine" light. Then it is reset by itself. When the dealer was asked, they denied the possibility of any malfunction of the car. This sudden acceleration looks like a deadly failure. If it happens in a busy intersection, it might have resulted in fatal crashes or deaths of pedestrians.

I was driving my car from florida to new mexico as part of a military change of station. I was on my second day of the trip, from fort worth, TX to portals, nm, when I experienced significant loss of power 5 times in a 200 mile distance (no warning, no warning lights on the dash). Twice, the car turned itself off suddenly, disabling the power steering, with no warning at all. Once was at high speed on the interstate; the other was in the middle of a small town. Thankfully it did not cause an accident either time. This is the first time I have ever experienced this problem and it has happened twice in one day. BMW of north America has been contacted regarding these incidents. It is a 90 minute drive on very desolate roads to the nearest dealership in lubbock, TX, so I have requested that the car be taken to the dealership for service as it is unsafe for me to drive in this condition. I am awaiting a resolution to my problem from BMW of north America.

First noticed a burning smell -- thought it may be plastic or rubber. Pulled off of the highway near tampa to a local gas station. Looked under the hood, noticed nothing. Then noticed smoke coming from the space where the rear window rolls up, on the drivers side. Smelled like burning rubber or plastic. Called BMW assist, was told to get a tow to the nearest dealer. After about an hour, called to BMW to talk with a service technician -- described the problem to the technician and asked if I could drive the car to the dealership. Service advisor indicated that given the smoke, would advise against driving the car. Car towed to dealership and inspected by dealer the following morning. Dealer advised that the "dash reflected message of pinch protection malfunction. Jbe module caused failure of both rear window motors, interrogate fault memory. Found faults in jbe, a6d9, a6da, a6d8, a6db. Completed test plan for these faults. Per test plan replace jbe. Swapped in jbe from known good vehicle. " essentially, the dealer replaced the existing software in the car with the software from a car known to have good software. Dealer found both window motors "burned" and replaced both window roll-up motors. Dealer completed vehicle programming including "cas". Complete car encoding.
