Feeling a bit stiff in the mornng
For once not me but the car.
Do 335i owners ever feel that the car is a bit stiff from a cold start up. My car really felt quite lethargic this morning. No error codes or warnings or anything but the throttle response felt a bit laggy, like the car just didn't want to go unless it was pushed. I have a 2009 335i Msport Highline DCT. The first thing that is coming to mind is the high pressure fuel line issue some have reported. Can this be intermittent? Could it affect my model? Thanks |

The car is definitely much more responsive once warm. The low revs are very rough when it is cold too especially pulling away in first. On some days the car almost asks "Really, you want me to move?" I suspect walnut blasting could fix these kind of issues where the car feels slightly choked.
TBH though I don't drive it at all hard till the oil comes off the 70c, generally not over 3krpm till then. Once it is that warm it is fine. |

Yes I'm trying to be restrained until it's warm as well but my drive to work is 8 miles and it takes about 5 for the needle to move. |

My 08 N54 335i is just as happy pulling through the rev range from a cold start as when warmed up. Obviously I avoid having to rev it above 3k till oil temp is up.

I'd say that's a very good description of how the car feels. Doesn't seem to be the same all the time. Some days are better than other. Once warm I've never experienced it. Just first thing in the mornings. |
