BMW 335i 6-sp manual began shaking roughly on start-up, rpms jumped up and down wildly between 500 and 2000 and check engine light came on. Turned off car, restarted, idling settled down, car ran fine, check engine light did not come back on. Same problem on next startup, but check engine light did not come on and I did not turn off car. After about one minute of idling, car began idling normally, drove fine. Same problem on next start up--called dealer for service. Started car, it seemed fine, so I drove away. On the way to the dealer, the check engine light came on and the car began shaking roughly while driving and had severely diminished acceleration power. Downshifting did not help. Could barely get up to highway speed, especially climbing a hill. Took it to the dealer. Hpfp was replaced within 2 days. Seems okay, but occasional lurching, perceived lag in acceleration at low speeds, and knowledge that this is a known problem with BMW x35s makes me question the car's reliability.

Multiple fuel system failures on vehicle starting at 27,055 miles, second at 28,711 miles, third at 40,872 miles. Also excessive transmission leak at 35,784 miles. (repaired) several attempts of reprogramming software failed to fix the fuel system problem. Still ongoing fuel system failure symptoms occurring after recent dealer service/inspection. The third breakdown was catastrophic and had to have vehicle towed off roadway.

My 2008 BMW 335i only had around 28,000 miles when I began noticing it took an inordinate amount of time to start the engine. It would crank for several seconds before the engine finally started, especially if it was a cold start. Once the engine was warmed up it seemed to run just fine. It has now been in the shop 4 times since Jan 2010 and I'm sick of it! am terrified about the car stopping on the interstate, amid traffic, like has been described in various other posts!.

BMW 335i 2008 hpfp failed. 2nd time this has happened to me.

My 2008 BMW 335 just stopped without any warnings in the middle of the road while it was climbing up the hill at 35 mph. There was no car behind me. Luckily, I was not driving on a highway.

2008 BMW 335i threw a engine malfunction and then went to reduced power mode.

Hpfp failure once on 10/16/08 and again on 09/30/09.

1) transmission jerks forward when letting foot off brake intermittently 2) car has long starts; I believe it to be a fuel management problem 3) car has reduced power intermittently problems occurs about every two days; the transmission jerking forward and reduce power is unsafe. It can't be forecasted during everyday driving. I have in contact with BMW na and my local service center for repairs. Car has approximately 2000 miles; BMW claims no issues with the system. Fuel/transmission issue makes the car hard to predict. BMW dealer recommended a different fueling station due to ethanol contact; since I started using their recommended gas stations, the problem has gooten worse. It should be noted the car has not technically failed yet. I've created an excel chart to track the issues, events and date/mileage/status of car conditions. I will keep in contact with the service manager of the dealer with the re-occuring issues. Vehicle type 2008 BMW 335i coupe (model was not listed in drop-down bar later in complaint).
