135 M I-6 3.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 63,000 miles

Engine stalling during warm starts, Engine malfunction light illuminated, Engine power reduced (limp mode), rough idle. Took to BMW and diagnosed cracked charge pipe, $640 repair. My advice, upgrade to a metal charge pipe for $200 and do it yourself. My car is 100% stock and never tracked.

Engine stalls on occasion when shifting into neutral and shifting. Have addressed issue to BMW dealer and issue has not been resolved. Not a huge problem except that when the engine dies you lose power steering. I suspect HPFP is on its way out...
