High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure
The high-pressure fuel pump is prone to failure in this model, leading to issues like poor acceleration, engine stalling, and difficulty starting.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, like the one in the BMW 335, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, resulting in rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance.
Coolant system failures
Problems with the electric water pump and thermostat can lead to overheating issues and eventual engine damage if not addressed.
Electric throttle body issues
The electronic throttle body can fail, causing erratic idling, engine stalling, and poor throttle response.
Timing chain problems
The N55 engine in the 2014 BMW 335 can develop timing chain issues, leading to rattling noises, engine misfires, and potential catastrophic engine failure if the chain breaks.
