Hi everyone, I picked up a used 335xi with 89k miles on it less than a year ago. After about 6 months after I purchased it and drove about 15k miles on it, it started to start up and run rough in the mornings and then smooth out after it warmed up. I brought it to my mechanic who changed the...

I've only owned my 2011 335d for 6 months. It started throwing cut engine power(limp mode) on dash. I brought it to a recommended BMW mechanic. They had it for 4 days trying to diagnose the problem. Today they said the mass airflow was sending signal to DDE, but DDE was not reading mass air...

Hey everyone, I have a set of four Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60s for sale. The dealer put them on my 335d while it was in for the dreaded CARBON BUILD UP issue. I asked that they NOT put the tires on until after the car was fixed, but they didn't listen. Now BMW is buying back my car and I am...

Last month i purchased a 2009 335d with 45k miles. within the 30 day warranty period the car had a CEL come on and was sent by the repair center at the national chain where i bought the car to the BMW dealer for diagnosis.
