Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2013 BMW 335i is known for developing oil leaks from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket, which can lead to oil loss and potential engine damage if not addressed.

High-pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failure

The high-pressure fuel pump in the N55 engine can fail, causing starting issues, rough idling, and a decrease in performance.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger on the 335i can develop wastegate rattle or fail prematurely, leading to a loss of power and increased exhaust emissions.

Electric water pump failure

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.
