The car stalled and lost power on highway. Engine light came on . Rough idling. First incident occurred September 2011. The second incident happened oct 26, 2011. Both times the car stalled and lost power on the highway. I believe that this created a very dangerous and life threatening situation for me and others on the highway.

Long cranking before my 07 BMW 335i starts. Engine loses power and goes into limp home mode! dealer reprogrammed my vehicle,but now it has no power! it also has a lot of turbo lag at the lower rev range!.

Car stalling and no power in the middle of the road while driving. No power to accelerate. This happened while I was making a u turn, cars was coming at me at a high rate of speed and I couldn't get power to accelerate. Tried pulling over safely. Car was oozing power and cant restart normally.

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.

Failed hpfp for the 3rd time in my 2007 BMW 335i.

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.

Fourth replacement of hpfp on 2009 BMW 335 xi less than 12k miles. Less than 12 months old.

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!.

Sudden loss of power on highway. The car did not stop or cause an accident but reading articles about others who have had same problems where car stalled at highway speeds scares me to death.

On Tuesday February 2nd 2010 my brand new (only 3859 miles on it) BMW 335i coupe started experiencing difficulty starting up (then engine would just turn and turn). Upon starting up, the engine idled very roughly, as if only firing on partial cylinders. No engine warning lights were observed at this time. Eventually the engine seemed to start running smoothly. During driving of the car later on the "engine malfunction - reduced power" light appeared. When traveling at a low rate of speed (aprox. 20mph) the engine shut off and I was forced to coast to the side of the road. This problem repeated itself several times until I was forced to call tow service to pick the car up and take it to the dealer for repair. Surveying the online community of BMW owners this appears to be a systemic problem with this make and model of car and so I am documenting this occurrence with me here in the hopes that BMW can be made to publicly recognize the problem and fix it for all concerned.

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.

Car suddenly loss any power while driving on the highway, car was shaking and unable to gain speed.

Hpfp failed for the 2nd time in my 2007 BMW 335i.

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

Long cranks to start, shaking now while starting, engine service soon light appearing.

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).

Started my car in the morning in about 400 feet after changing to 2nd gear and the clutch fully engaged drove 20 feet and the car bucked. No engine fault lights lit. Drove to work. At lunch time started the car and the engine light was lit anything about 1/4 throttle the car would bog down and slow down. Maximum speed was around 45mph with very little acceleration. Upon restart the car was running without the engine light and performance returned. I'm concerned this could happen at any moment such as merging onto the highway. This is a major safety concern when I have my family in the car. Contacted the dealer and they inspected the car the next day. They found the hpfp to be faulty and replaced it.
