The electric water pump on this model is prone to failure, which can cause the engine to overheat and lead to severe engine damage if not replaced promptly.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the one in the 335i are susceptible to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can cause rough idling, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.
Vanos solenoid failure
The variable valve timing solenoids (Vanos) can fail, leading to rough idling, poor acceleration, and engine warning lights.
Coolant leaks
The plastic components in the cooling system, such as the radiator and expansion tank, can crack and leak, causing the engine to overheat.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils in the 335i often fail, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced engine performance.
Battery drain
Electrical issues, such as a faulty IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor) or other electronic modules, can cause the battery to drain unexpectedly.
