My 335i coupe 6MT sport (build 8/2006) has 28,000 miles on it. For the past 10 days it has been going into "reduced power mode" for no obvious reason. The event happens about once daily and is temporarily cured by simply shutting the engine off and restarting. I took it to the dealership where they kept the car for 10 days waiting to get a fix for the problem from BMWNA. Finally, they replaced the charge air pressure sensor, drove the car for about 40 miles and delivered it back to me with a clean bill of health. Two hours and twenty miles later, the car went into limp mode again. I returned the car to the dealer. The seviceman told me to expect a long delay until they figure it out.
By the way, I did not experience any of the symptoms of the dreaded fuel pump problem and the car never overheated (oil temp around 240 ; my car has the oil cooler since it has a manual transmission). I do tend to drive in a spirited manner; however, the limp status usually occurs while stuck in traffic running in low gears.
Any ideas or experiences?
