Reliability of the 335i?

WCS099 · 01-28-2009, 12:06 PM

I may be trading my '06 330i for a 335i, but I'm interested to hear how the turbos are holding up now that the model has been out a few years, as well as any other reliability issues that people have encountered.

Waste Gate and HPFP problems. If you do a search, you will find dozens of threads.

me too 12/06. just now had an injector problem. all fixed though. 34k on the odometer. very reliable for me at least.

Just bought a 2007 335 with a build date of 10/06 and it had 16,800 miles. Within two weeks of having it the HPFP failed, then three weeks later I had a steering column lock error and they updated the software on the car. That is all, and was all covered. Love the car!

PeteW84 · 02-08-2009, 09:06 PM

Built date of 10/07, had it for a year without a single problem. 4,700 miles and it runs flawlessly.

Build date 03/07. Not one single problem.

bradcfi · 02-10-2009, 04:27 PM

Build date 3/08. Wind Shield washer failed. Nothing else and love the car.

07/08 build with 5,500 miles. I have a radio problem (other than no base) when I hook up my IPOD. The sound jumps up and down and drives me nuts. Otherwise, not one problem. I had it in Germany for 3-months and ran the crap out of it. I am very happy with it. Getting JB3 this week.

11/08 build with 21,100 miles, had a low pressure fuel sensor replaced a month ago two weeks later a fuel pump... no other problems.

RambleJ · 02-18-2009, 04:17 PM

31,000 miles.. I've had the car in for a fuel pump replacement twice. But that issue is very minimal compared to how much I enjoy my 335!

dreamnmotion · 02-19-2009, 12:37 AM

35,500 with 05/07 build. Very reliable so far, just changing brakes due to squeaking, but that's about it.

carve · 02-25-2009, 01:46 PM

1/07 with 27k. One of my VANOS solenoids just went out, and I don't think my little exhaust flapper works properly.

branabolic · 02-28-2009, 05:33 PM

4/08 build. biggest problem so far is that its ruining my social life because all i want to do is drive it. no other problems. 8,500miles
