Long crank, stuttering, engine dying at idle (or in traffic), check engine light/limp mode. BMW dealers don't know exactly how to fix it once and for all. They just keep replacing the high pressure fuel pump.

I have a 2008 BMW 335xi. It has a serious transmission problem. When I am at the red light with my foot on the brake it feels like someone hit me from behind! so hard I look in my rear view mirror to see the car that hit me and get out to get their insurance info. BMW will not fix it saying that the tech cant reproduce the problem! if my kids or your or some driver with not alot of experience would have this happen to them I assure you they could panic and hit the gas and end up in the intersection and get killed!!! something has to be done before someone dies!!!!

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).
