I currently own a 2007 BMW 335I sedan that was purchased April 2007. A year later I went into the dealership for my first scheduled maintenance (oil change) and also reported to the service advisor that it took longer cranks or multiple cranks to start the engine. After some diagnostics ran on the engine, it was determined that the high-pressure fuel pump was failing and about to fail soon. The dealership decided to replace the failing pump. Fortunately I didn't have to experience with any dramatic or catastrophic events while operating the vehicle, though there were some other owners of the similar vehicle had experience near-accident situations. Nonetheless, the fuel pump showed signs of failing and I'm just happened to bring the car in time to replace it.

I purchased a 2007 BMW 335I on 15 June 2007, on 16 June 2007 the car would not start in the grocery store parking lot. After several tries the car stated and we stumbled home. After arriving home the car started and stalled, then all the engine warning lights came on. Bottom line car was towed to dealer, and high pressure fuel pump had to be replaced. The car had 238 miles on it. It took 3 weeks for the dealer to get the part. This is a common problem on the 335 series car. If this happens in traffic or on the highway, it could be a disaster. This requires some immediate scrutiny as it is still happening on cars with replacement pumps and 2008 models as well.

Fuel pump on 07 BMW 335 failed while making a left hand turn. Immediate loss of power almost caused an accident. Car towed to dealer. Waiting for parts. This has become a common problem with these cars.

BMW 335 suffers from a faulty high pressure fuel pump which causes the car to stall in the middle of driving or exhibit loss of power. This can be fatal especially if on freeways, car stalls in middle of driving, and the driver behind collides at high speed. Please look into this issue and have BMW recall the faulty pumps and issue fixed versions.
