The thing is i drive a 328i and i thought this was because of the turbos on the 335. Any suggestions? I am just out of warranty btw.
just happened to me yesterday! I Floored it, went into limp mode. restarted car, went away. going to dealer tuesday to see what it is! still under warranty

took my car in today, said it would be done by tomorrow. said it was fuel pump sensor and something seliniod (started with a v) i never heard of it before. i bought my car 4 weeks ago used. apparently my car has a had a lot replaced. break sensors, assisted steering motor/box/system, trunk dampers, upper valve head gasket. the HPFP was NEVER replaced. apparently my car was not under recall. yet they extended the recall for 10yr/100k miles. ill know by tomorrow exactly what they did and get back to u
