08 335xi half engine light after high rpm, no codes
Hey everyone, this is my first post and just wanna say I'm glad to be a part of the community. Anyways, in my 2008 335xi auto, after a few good pulls going into high rpms the half engine light comes on and then obviously turns off after the engine is shut down and restarted. Anyways I plugged my code reader in and it came up with no codes. What does this mean? I'm new to this stuff so it's just confusing me. Thanks

You need a BMW code reader. Sounds like you have a generic code reader because whenever the car goes into limp mode, there is always a code logged into the ECU. A lot of us use Carly Pro which is an app that runs on your Android/iOS device.
You could have a turbo boost leak but you won't know for sure until you get the exact code scanned. |

As far as your car shutting down in its own, that's a whole nother issu. Could be your HPFP or something else. When it comes to diagnosing these cars a BMW code reader is a must have or else your just taking a shot in the dark. Either find someone who could has a reader or purchase one and then go from there. |

probably misfires from old spark plugs or dying coils.
i had same issue, i would only get the light at high rpm and max boost. no issues on regular driving. start with new spark plugs and replace your coils.
