Hey, just wondering if HPFP is cover for 120k miles how about our injectors? Are those cover by the 120K miles too? I know that each one of them cost like about $ 200!

ok, so the other day i got the dreaded SES light along with the sputtering and loss of power. Weird thing it lasted for about 10 seconds then light went off and car went back to normal. Oh, before i forget i have a 2010 335i with M-sport and Performance package as well. I have exactly 50,003 miles on the car right now. After reading this im kinda freaking out thinking it could be all of these issues or who knows what else. To make matters worse just had to replace both rear tires along with a rim due to crack. They said they checked everything before it left the dealership now this happens. Makes me think they saw somthing and said "oh well, warranty is up soon let him pay for it". Anyways, im getting off track here. So i havent had another SES light or loss of power(yet). I did notice after this happened my car is now going through a tank a little quicker than normal(about 60 miles less per tank). I was wondering what could cause this and what i should expect when i take this bad boy in. Any recommendations would be awesome. thank you in advance!!

It's probably your injectors, spark plugs or coils, or any combination of those. If you've gotten the SES light, it'll likely get worse and you'll have to bring the car in for service. You will start noticing that the engine vibrates a lot more violently and the smell of gasoline. You should bring it in to get it looked at. This happened to me and it lasted about a month before my car became un-drivable.

Sounds like injectors (fom experience). Runs really rough but will probably clear itself enough to run fairly smoothly. Happens on start up after sitting all night and feels like about 3 cylinders are firing. The annoying part is 3 failed and this is a known problem so I asked them to do them all to save another trip and another loaner etc.......they agreed that they would fail but they had to wait for them to fail. Brutal customer service . Dealer said that BMW wouldn't authorize.

Guys, if you having injector problems or if your smelling gas at all, get it taken care of...A rich mixture in the fuel for extended periods of time will trash the Catalytic converters too!

ok, so after i posted this i put a fuel treatment in(which i do about every 8-10k) and noticed my gas mileage seems to be back to normal. I havent had another SES light or sputtering. One thing that did happen that i found odd was when i was getting on the freeway today as i accelerated i felt this sort of jump..imagine your driving a manual and your in first and your slowly creeping forward and you tap the gas...similar to that little jump you get. Almost felt like the car hesitated for a split second and then just took off..it was weird. Would that be a misfire or possibly something worse?
