do you have the latest bmw software (not sure what is current on 335's)?
if it is actually the vanos malfunctioning then you could be fucked.... take that thing in and let them know whats going on. |

well if you have Vanos problems it might not be an easy fix... could be time consuming but you're still under warranty so you should be fine. Just take the car in and let BMW decide whats wrong.

i felt like i lost 150 horsepower LOL. I was driving someplace and all of a sudden my car started acting up, braking wierda nd what not. I immediately go straight to the dealer. Drop the car off get it back 3 days later, replaced the Front fan, VANOS system and re flashed the car. I have an n52 as well.....
