BMW 335 owners have reported 2 problems related to engine overheat (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at highway speeds for 15-20 minutes, the yellow engine overheating warning light came on and quickly turned to red, within 5 seconds. The car lost the ability to accelerate and my speed quickly began to slow. There was no response from the car when depressing the accelerator. I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic with no acceleration which nearly caused several accidents. My car was rolling to a stop on he highway. I turned the car off for several minutes and everything seemed to be fine. However, this has now happened multiple times. Each time while driving on the highway for 15-20 minutes.

I was driving home on the freeway when all of a sudden car immediately lost power, engine over heating illuminated on my message board. Had to cross two lanes of traffic while speed was decreasing, I thankfully made it to the shoulder. Car would not accelerate past 2mph. Called tow truck and sent to BMW. Car read 62,000 miles, BMW replaced waterpump ($1,600). Vanos sprockets that prematurely fail are a known issue at the BMW service center here in TX mine failed at 63,000 miles ($1900). Passenger mat sensor seat sensor failed at 63,000 miles ($800). A well known issue at the BMW dealership bit they do nothing about it. . . Now my turbo chargers have failed due to waste gate but thankfully BMW extended the warranty to 82,000 miles. This is the worst BMW I have ever purchased never have I had so many problems with the 335i. Advice stay away from the n54 turbo charged Bmws. Buy an Audi.
