Poll: Do you have a rough idle/misfire with your 335i?

AJ@ECSMotorsports · 12-06-2008, 07:46 PM

So.. can you not shorten the gap yourselves?

Sorry, I don't own a 335i yet, but I hope to very soon.

lol... she owns her own 2007 335i. During the summer of 2007, my mom and dad picked theirs up in Munich about 2 weeks before my wife and I did. We then toured together for a couple of weeks. Shortly after they got back, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. He passed away in March. Now my mom is left with this 335i which she has had issues with. Some have been user errors (for example, she did not know you need to push the start button twice to shut the car off, so the battery kept dying). She has already had one fuel pump replaced and it looks to me like another is due. She got a bubble in a RFT. Nothing really catastrophic, but I did find it ironic that she had this very problem right after reading this poll.

I had a terrible problem with rough idle, hesitation, surging, misfire and what can best be described as a genuine P.O.S.
BMW bought the toad back, gave me a new rocket to drive and it's been miles of smiles for the past 9 months.

Good on ya BMW,

Had a few rough idles / misfires, solved by new plugs. Also had an episode for a few miles of EXTREMELY rough idle and surging.......smoothed itself right out before I could get home....bad gas?

Had fuel pump replaced, and waste gate actuator replaced. But in general, car runs great. Just need to fix the flickering headlights.

yes my car is in the shop now. Replaced the HPFP but now they changed one injector and are still testing to make sure that was it....
