Most common problems:

Oil leaks

BMW 335i engines, especially the N55 engine used in the 2015 model, are known for developing oil leaks. Common sources include the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, and oil pan gasket.

High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure

The HPFP in the BMW 335i can fail prematurely, leading to poor engine performance, stalling, and difficulty starting the vehicle.

Turbocharger issues

The turbochargers in the 335i can suffer from wastegate rattle and failure, causing a loss of power and poor throttle response.

Ignition coil and spark plug failure

The ignition coils and spark plugs in the 335i tend to wear out relatively quickly, leading to misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the 335i are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can result in rough idling, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Cooling system problems

The 335i's cooling system components, such as the water pump and thermostat, are known to fail, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

Vanos solenoid issues

The variable valve timing system (Vanos) solenoids in the 335i can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, reduced power, and check engine light warnings.

Electrical problems

The 335i can experience various electrical issues, including problems with the battery, alternator, and various sensors, leading to warning lights and malfunctions.
